{{{HUGS}}} to you Snoop!!
Poor Snoopy. :( Sending hugs & love for you both, prayers continuing.
Still thinking & praying for Snoopy. I do hope he starts to improve a little
every day. Hoping his appetite returns slowly but surely. ((HUGS))
I hope you get the old Snoopy back soon, too. I know it's hard to see him like that. Give him some hugs from me. I'm so glad you have a vet willing to do all it takes for him.
I'm praying for Snoop. I hope that he starts to feel like himself soon. I know how difficult this is for you and your family. I will keep you guys in my thoughts. Sending BIG GIANT HUGS!
I'm so sorry that poor Snoopy is just not himself. I'm glad to hear that he is getting around a bit better though. I hope things can get all worked out for him soon! It's wonderful that your vets and staff are being so supportive!
Hugs,
Kim
Snoopy had a seizure about 1:30 am this morning. He was asleep in his crate and Christy heard him whining. It was a grand mal (which means he loses control of his bodily functions) but I don't know how long it lasted. I am guess not too long because the other dogs didn't start to bark. I gave him valium and he laid down on the couch with me and slept for awhile. Then he got up to get a drink but was acting "drunk" falling all over everything. All of a sudden he collapsed and couldn't get up again. He crawled around on the floor trying to get up. I got Carl up and we were able to get a blanket under him and carried him to our living room on his makeshift carrier. I laid down beside him and we slept like that until Carl got up to go to work at 5:00 am. It was so sad, he and I shared a pillow and he seemed to keep getting closer so are faces were right there together. Of course, I didn't fall asleep right away. I cried and cried to see my boy so sad and so sick. He just loves me so much and trusts me so much and it is so humbling.
He seems okay this morning. I called the vets office and the vet talked to me and said to just keep an eye on him and I can give him valium again to hopefully stave off another seizure. Christy is at home with him so I am not sure she wants to do that after I described what happened last night- the vet feels it may have been too much sedation and he was too out of it to walk. I am still have a very difficult time getting him to eat. I poured low sodium chicken noodle soup over his food last night because it was lower in sodium than the low sodium chicken broth. It did not make an impression at all - he ate 2 or 3 bites and that was it. That is probably why the medication sedates him so bad because they can't be much inhis stomach.
So keep praying for me and my boy - we both need it!!!!
OH Diana I'm in tears.
I'm sorry.

We love you!

a hug or two. Please remember, we are all with you in spirit & praying for
some relief for you both. I am so sorry that Snoopy has to have these scary
things happen to him. (((Hugs))) Liz.
Poor Snoopy :( It breaks my heart to think about all he and you are going through.
*LES*, Poor Snoopy :( . Many more prayers being added for him, and you, too, Diana.
I'm so sorry you and Snoopy are going through this. :( Thinking of you both. {{hugs}}
Still thinking of you all. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you. :(
Poor Snoopy! He and you will be in our thoughts.

I'm with the others on the LES. It hurts me so much to hear sweet Snoopy is doing so bad:(
(((HUGS))) and prayers being sent.
Anna & Mark
I'm sorry to hear Snoopy is doing so poorly. :( I will continue to keep him in my prayers.
Every time I check this thread, I hope to hear better news about your wonderful Snoopy. I will continue to pray for you both.
Thank each and everyone of you to responding to this thread and caring about my poor Snoopy. He seems to be doing a little better today - walking better, and so far no more seizures. I added a little minced up left over meatloaf to his food tonight - nothing else has seemed to help - and he actually ate a little more than he has been. The Vet said that the phenobarbital made him so hungry that he probably doesn't recognize this less degree oif hunger - and of course all the fluid on his belly doesn't help either.
Joyce, I am sorry to hear that Alex had a seizure last night too. It is so scary to seem them in one. Good thoughts coming to you and Alex.
We will keep the prayers coming.
I just read your last update :( I'm so sorry. I know the feeling of laying on the floor with them. You feel so helpless. I hope things get much better. Please get well, Snoopy. We all love you.
Keeping all of you in my prayers. This is so difficult to read about, I can't imagine going through it with one of the fur kids. {{HUGS}}
We had a good night last night! No seizures. He got me up about 4:00 to go out and then I laid on the couch with him until 5 when Carl gets up. He actually ate some food last night after I spiced it up with some left overs. I am feeling a little more hopeful now. So I thought I would post a few pictures of Snoopy
Here is one taken Memorial Day weekend at a picnic we had with Staci and Phred and dog crews after the big dog park meeting the day before.

Here is one showing his general body shape - he is not little but the phenabarbital helped him add on pounds fast!

I tried to respond last night, but got interupted. I am glad to hear that you had a good night last night. We really do learn to see the baby steps in any recovery when our babies are sick, don't we? He has such a charming face, I am sure that Snoopy wins over everyone he meets. Prayers are continuing for that handsome boy. {{{Hugs}}}
i've only just read your thread here. So sorry you guys are going through all of this. I'm glad the leftovers helped Snoopy with his appetite. Maybe some tuna or raw chicken would go down easy.
***prayers and hugs from Texas***

I'm glad Snoopy was able to eat a little better. Bless his heart, I can see
how distended his belly is. :( I hope he stays as alert & comfortable as
he seems now. Love ya Snoopy. :)
aaww poor sweet snoops. :(
gentle hugs from me.
Dearest Snoopy - how are you doing now fella?
Glad to hear sweet Snoopy has perked up a little and thanks for sharing the pictures. {{{hugs}}}
Prayers and positive thoughts continuing.
:)

Since I am off for the weekend now - I will have a lot more time to work with him and trying to find something to tempt him. We really have to find a way to get him eating - poor boy.
The vet from the OSU vet hospital called yesterday while I was at work to check up on Snoopy. Christy said she planned on calling our vet also.
I am so grateful to all the people here who are thinking of and praying for my boy. It's working!
I'm glad to hear he ate last night:)
Good luck on finding things he likes.
More hugs and prayers on the way!
So glad to hear that Snoopy had a good night! Keep it up sweet Snoopy, we'll keep the prayers coming!!
Diana, I'm SO glad to hear he's eating a little more. Guess you'll have to make meatloaf more often! :D
{{HUGS}} to you all!
Good boy Snoopy!!
I know when my cat wouldn't eat the vet prescribed her a liquid form of food which she lapped up with great enthusiasm! Is there a similar thing for dogs to make sure they get all they need until they want to eat again?
