Jackie Keeps Having Fits

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Poor Jackie. I hope the medication will offer her some relief. Must be very distressing for you all

[Freedom]

Prayers for Jackie. Hope that the meds will help quickly so she can feel better.

I don't know much about epilepsy. However, I do remember a story about 8 years back, that a woman with it had some of her attacks triggered by Debra Norvil's voice on TV!

OK, well we just woke up from a nap and Jackie had her 13th seizure.

She is now on Luminol, and 15mgs of Valium.

I am beside myself, I don't know what to do. I have called in sick to work today, but I can't stay home everyday.

I don't understand how people can live like this for years on end, this is only day two, and I am thinking about diving into Jackie's Valium stash.

Oh how sad.... I wish I could help with words of wisdom, but I don't have any to offer. Joyce lost her wonder dog Alex recently and he suffered from seizures. She may be able to answer some of your questions.

I'm so sorry I can't be of any help. I can only keep you both in my thoughts.
I hope that the medication stabilises Jackie very soon.

Zoee has had about 4 or 5 seizures in her 3 years. They've been far apart so medication is not necessary at this time. But I totally understand how draining and upsetting it is to go through it, not only for you but the dog as well. I have a small supply of Valium for Zoee just incase she has another. I have not been able to find a trigger for Zoee's seizures, especially since they are so seldom.
I am hoping that Jackie's fits stop and you have a long rest time.

[jackie]

I am taking admitting Jackie into the vets for overnight care. I can't handle it anymore. She had another fit, then broke through the barricade and fell down the steps.

Have they done tests to see if there is anything wrong besides epilepsy that suddenly brought this on? I'm so sorry for what your going through.
