I'm so sorry I just read this... (I haven't been on since Friday)

The good news is Snoopy has not had any more seizures since he started the Valium. So his last one was at 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning. However he is still not back to being himself. He whines alot of the time. He is agitated and walks around like he doesn't know what he wants and he isn't playing with the other dogs. The Valium could be causing some of the restlessness but he was also acting this way before he started the medication. It will be tomorrow afternoon before we get the results of the blood test.

I just want my old Snoopy back. hyperness and all!

So glad to hear Snoops has not had another seizure. I'm sure the meds are making him feel a little disoriented. It may take a while to get his dosage adjusted, and for him to adjust to the meds, but I'll bet before long, he'll be feeling lots more like his old self. We're thinking of you Snoopy...lots of hugs to you sweetie Please keep us updated

I talked to my mom today and got an update...the blood work didn't show anything, when tends to point to epilepsy. Mom thought it may be a reaction to weed killer that was put on a friend's yard, but I guess no toxins were found, and Round-Up tends to irritate the stomach, not the neurology.

I guess they are going to try him on Phenobarbital and see if that helps. He has not had anymore seizures, since satring the valium, but he is still whining a lot more then normal though, and that is why they are trying the phenobarb

Oh I hate when they don't know the problem

I just hope that Snoopy starts to feel more like himself soon.

Thanks Amy for updating for me. As Amy said the vet said the blood test showed nothing wrong. So she gave me 3 choices.1. Take him to Ohio State Vet lab and have a spinal tap and titres for various ticks etc. But there is still a very strong chance like 75% that no cause will be found. 2. We could wean him off Valium and see if he has another. Since we have pretty well decided he had 5 (3 mini ones) in less than 30 hours, she was not too crazy about doing that. or 3. Put him on phenabarbital with the possibility of weaning him off later.

I opted for starting him on meds because of the way he acted on Friday before the main seizure and is still acting today although his behaviour now could be from the Valium. He still is not the old Snoopy. He whines alot, is still very restless, has started barking at me like I should know what he wants and I don't cause he has been fed, watered, outside - everything I can think of. He does crazy things like jump out of the window of the car when we were going to the dog park (car hadn't started moving) and the window wasn't even half way down.

Because they didn't get it called in until later today, I have opted to start it in the morning when I can see his reaction. He will be still taking some Valium with it - a lower dose for awhile - but she thinks that until his body adjusts it will make him sleep most of the time. After 2 or 3 weeks he should be normal again. I can't imagine anything making Snoopy sleep most of the time so I will have to see that to believe it.

Please pray for Snoopy while we try to find a way for him to feel okay again.
