What Medication Treats Chronic Encephalitis in Dogs?

My 45kg Alaskan Malamute, almost 3, recently in heat and got demodicosis; ears are dirty and itchy after cleaning. A chewable worked then relapsed and worsened; eyes/mouth/feet have purulent crusts. Heard doramectin helps but unsure if safe for long-haired dogs and timing with the chewable.
Confirmed demodicosis is treated orally, by injection, or medicated baths. After relapse, a second deworming plus ivermectin injection is an option; dose by vet to avoid toxicity. Alaskans are NOT collie-type, so ivermectin is safe. Medicated baths and vitamins help; clean the environment.
My dog started having seizures yesterday morning, many times, medication doesn’t help, constant drooling and circling, and not using the bathroom.
A dog's epileptic seizures usually manifest as convulsions, foaming at the mouth, involuntary movement, and loss of consciousness. Canine epilepsy is generally incurable and the exact cause is hard to find; its causes include brain infection, brain injury, brain tumors, metabolic problems, poisoning, and structural brain abnormalities. In addition, certain drugs, chemicals, or environmental factors may also trigger seizures in dogs. To confirm this condition, the owner should follow the veterinarian's advice and give appropriate help. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, the dog needs lifelong medication, re-examinations, and anti-epileptic treatment - anti-epileptic drugs include phenobarbital, potassium bromide, and diazepam. Medication controls the seizures to avoid major disruption to the dog's and owner's daily life, but in many cases the seizures return once treatment stops. Besides sticking to medication under the vet's guidance, seek timely care in emergencies and have follow-up exams to adjust the medication.
