Oh Joyce, I'm so glad to hear things have been good!

so happy boy made me a liar. he had one at 11:30pm, one at 2:30am and one at 8am. eileen had to be human parent on the scene for that one, i was at work. i called the vet and she knows, so off to the pharm for more meds. yuck!

Sorry to hear this, Alex.

But you DID have some good days in there ... *munch* some pills
and start to feel BETTER, OK?

a very stoned dog is sitting under the desk. he had another one around 11:30 last night. after each seizure to boost his blood sugar, per the vets' instructions he's to get a small meal; peanut has learned this means a middle of the night snack, she loves the scrambled egg or cottage cheese. alex inhales the food and looks for more, he's willing to eat anytime.

Awww Joyce, I was hoping that I'd read he hadn't had any more but it seems this is not the case

Lots of love and hugs to you both.

alex has had 2 more seizures since sunday am. i talked to the vet and we're gonna bump his phenobarb up to 164 mg, twice a day, blood work to test his levels in 3 weeks. this is a lot of meds for a 40-ish pound 11 year old dog. i do get upset over the number he has had and the amount of med he's on and i've worked myself into a migrane, so that monster is here too-GRRRR, ya think head issues can be passed tween dogs and humans?

My heart goes out to you.
I had a little poodle mix that had some whopper size seizures when she got older.
I hope the meds will control them.
Hugs to you and alex.

since yesterday at 9pm, no more. he is recovering quickly and the post ictal period is short. he's his bouncy self today. and that makes me happy
