Kimmy and Kia need PT prayers!

[PayItForward]

Thinking of Kim & Kia, hoping for good news

[ramanth]

Hey all!!!

Thank you SO much for the thoughts and prayers. I know they helped big time. What a day!

Believe it or not, the interview went wonderfully. Kia was so good and just wowed Trisha and the camera-man. They took lots of footage. The report won't aire for about a month, so I'll keep you all updated.

Well, because of the interview I had the morning off. Around 10:30 I took her to the 'unofficial' MSU dog park and she ran and played with a Aussie Shephard and a few Labs.

Got home about 12:30 and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until Kia curled up on the couch. Her left leg spasmed uncontrollably. I rubbed it, thinking it just a muscle spasm, but then both legs started to spasm. She stared at her legs like she had no clue what was going on. I had her get off the couch and walk around and she was fine. No limping, whimpering, or anything.

She retreated to her crate and as soon as she laid down, her front legs started to spasm again. I called up the vets office (it was 12:45 by now) and the tech said the vet was out until 3 p.m. I was to keep an eye on her and if her symptoms progressed worse, then to take her to MSU.

Kia never vomited, never got glassy eyed, or cried out. She would just lay there and stare at me or her legs. Over the course of about 1 hour and 20 minutes, her front legs stopped spasming, her body gave a quick spasm, and then her back legs starting going. She'd kick the side of the crate and never make a sound.

It was just eerie. She didn't want to leave her crate either. Poor thing kept trying to fall asleep and her spasm would wake her up.

Got her to the vet at 3 and her vital signs are normal and good. She was all happy and bouncy at the vet.

The vet tech said that the oncoming of bad weather makes her dogs anxious and if Kia ever acted odd before a storm. (Her dogs were in the back and going crazy....blue skies, but a chance of storms) Said I hadn't noticed before.

It's possible she had a mild seizure, but as of right now, she's a-okay. Sleepy, but in good spirits. I gave her some Anti-Anxiety medicine from the vets...hopefully, if it does storm, she'll not flip out.

There are so many possibilities.... there were bees around the dog park, she may of been stung and had a reaction. But it is marked that she had a mild seizure today and I'll need to keep an eye on her.

I hope she's not developing Epilepsy.

I was so scared reading this. I just now saw this thread. I'm glad that all is good now and hoping that it stays that way.

Big hugs for you Kia!

Oh, Kimmy, I'm so glad to hear Kia is ok. Will keep the prayers and positive thoughts going for her to stay that way.

Please give her a big hug from me.

[Steffi N]

Kimmy, I am glad and relived that Kia is okay now. I hope that she will remain well. Best wishes to both of you.

[lovemyshiba]

I'm glad to hear that Kia is feeling ok.

You and Kia are in my prayers anyway, I hope nothing is wrong.

Feel better soon sweet Kia.

[anna_66]

I'm so glad to hear that Kia is feeling better.

I'll be keeping her in my prayers that she continues to feel better.

[Cincy'sMom]

Glad to hear that Kia is doing better.

My SIL's dog has seizures off and on and her vet told her that if he does not lose consciuosness (and it sounds like Kia didn't) that it is not doing any damage to the brain. Still hard to watch, but it maybe not as harmful as it first may seem.

Get some rest Kia! We'll keep thinking about you!!

[lizbud]

I'm so glad that Kia is doing better now. That episode must
have been very scary for you both. Will the Vet's do a follow up
exam on Kia ?

So good to hear that she's resting now. Kia will stay in my
prayers. It does sound more like a seizure, than an anxious
dog. Hope you're feeling 100% soon Kia.

[Corinna]

Glad to hear things have worked out. Kia could be developing a allergy to bee stings. It is an accumulated type my mom has to carry a kit around ,she didn't develop it till I was about 13 years old.

[joycenalex]

kim, alex the wonder dog has seizures, and has for many years. MSU is a great vet school, maybe getting a check out by the vet neuro would be a possibility. can't hurt to have high quality talent look at your fur baby. regards, joyce

[Karen]

Oh what a scary day. Glad the first part of the day went so well, sorry you both had to go through the fright of seizures ... glad she seems to be okay now. Will we get to meet you May 30th in Findley?

Sweet Kia blue-eyes
Rest well tonight
Angels will watch
So close those pretty eyes
Sleep well tonight
