Mike called me this morning. He apparently is transporting Bailey back and forth from his vet to the emergency clinic where the specialists are. This is her third day w/out seizures and she seems to be getting stronger. She's still pretty much out of it, though. But she's eating and her peeing is under control now; she goes on her own w/out accidents. The vet feels that she probably does, indeed, have encephalitis. It's nothing definite but it appears to be leaning in that direction. Let's hope so. (Jeez, can you imagine? I'm actually hoping that Bailey has a serious illness! But if it's a brain tumor, then we know what's next, which is why I'm hoping it's encephalitis.) When I hear more, I'll post. Thanx, friends, for all your prayers but keep 'em comin'.

Since I'm getting the info second hand, I'm not clear on the details. But encephalitis is curable. She's on antibiotics, as I mentioned, and phenolbarbitol to keep the seizures under control. But it won't be an easy road for her back to health. But it's better than a brain tumor because she'd have to be PTS.
