Snoopy started having seizures again yesterday. I was out working in the yard yesterday morning and the 9 dogs were in their pen area. I heard Taggert barking in an agitated way and turned to see Snoopy laying on the ground seizing. I ran to him and calmly petted him and talked to him. He came out of it shortly thereafter. I gave him the Valium the vet gave me to keep him from having more.
At noon today I came home to check on Snoopy and found he had another one while I was gone. The telltale signs of poop and a small amount of urine were in his kennel. (He NEVER goes in his kennel so I know it was a seizure) I called the vet and she decided to add potasium bromide to his phenabarbitol. Only one pharmacy in town has it - and when we went to pick it up we found they close at 5:30 every night! How in the world are working people suppose to get their medications???? Fortunately I get off at 3:00 and can get it tomorrow. She said it may take up to 2 or 3 months to get to the right level so we may have to increase his phenabarbitol level until then if he keeps having them.
It is so sad to see him seizing and it really bothers me that I was not at home when he had the one this morning. I know it helps when I calmly pet and talk to him. So pray for my Snoopy boy, please?
