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!!!!
