Kia had a seizure

Kim,

It's so good to have Kia home with family again. About the
not eating. Once when Buddy experienced a very bad bout
of upset stomach & diarrhea.(he ate a dead bird). , the
Vet sent home some cans of Hills Prescription Diet I/D - a very, very bland mixture of tummy-friendly food. He ate 1/2 can &
some rice and kept it down. You can only get it from a Vet.Maybe
you could ask your Vet about it. It's very easy on the stomach
& gives the dog much needed nutrition until her insides heal
up a bit. Hugs & good wishes to Kia.

My Vet had prescribed the canned Hills Prescription I/D for Hannah too after she was in the hospital. Her appetite came back rather quickly (no surprise there) so I didn't even use all the cans because I didn't want her getting to used to the canned food, which she seemed to love. Let your Vet know about her reluctance to eat and see what he says.

We had some busy weather yesterday after I logged off. whew! The tornado's missed us though and hit the county to the east of us. So we're okey dokey. (No one was hurt by the twisters)

Kia seemed so interested in the dinner mom was making (goulash) that I said, 'screw it', and mom set aside some beef and noodles for her and she gobbled them up. I think the meds she's on are counteracting any kind of itching she might have.

She woke me up at 4 a.m. by just staring at me. You know when you get that feeling? I opened my eyes and there she was sitting by the bed.... staring.

She did it again at 6 a.m.

Both times she piddled and hasn't squatted once. I think her diarrhea is all gone.

This morning I made her some scrambled eggs and she ate them up.

Gave her, her meds. And now she's spending the afternoon with G'paw.

Kim, I am so glad to hear that Kia is doing so much better! Brian and I were thinking about and praying for you and Kia all weekend.

Actually, Bailey had that ProHeart shot at the beginning of April. She did not have any reactions to it. However, after everything that has happened to Kia, we're thinking we'll just switch Bailey to the other one, Sentinel or whatever it was called. Probably best to go with the one that has been around longer.

Hugs and prayers for Kia's full recovery.

OMG, I missed out on this whole thing until today which I'm now caught up on! My mom did call me Friday night to inform me of what was going on but I can't log in at home so I really didn't get it to read anything, just kept you 2 in my prayers. I just can't believe it after reading it today! I'm so glad that she has gotten better and sounds like on her way to recovery. I will keep her in my prayers that the hardest part is in the past and that she just needs her rest in order to stay on the road to recovery. Wow, I just can't believe it. I don't know what I would have done. You did a great job rushing her in that day, Don't doubt yourself, you did the right thing that day! I'm so glad you you were able to keep the level head and make it through that day, like I said, I don't know what I would have done!

Keep us updated and we will keep you and Kia in our prayers!

So glad to hear that Kia is getting better!!

Me too. I'm going to call G'Paw around lunch time and make sure he remembers to give Kia her medicine and find out how she's doing.

I'll let you guys know. Oh... and I have pics from the weekend.

Kia's doing better I think. She greeted me at the door, wagging her tail, but she looked visibly tired. We played a little tag, and she loped behind me instead of her usual run.

For dinner we made her rice, cottage cheese, and a few pieces of her dry food and she ate some of it. I added some garlic powder a little later and she ate a little more but left quite a bit in the bowl.

She had good bowel movements..... a little soft but no sign of blood at all.

She's still drinking lots of water. I wonder if her meds are making her thirsty? Either way, I'm glad she's staying hydrated.

When dad got home, she did her happy dance on the stairs, but no 'vocals' like she normally does.

Later dad got out some baby carrots and she did tricks for one! (speak, shake, and balanced it on her nose )

She ate a few baby carrots with no hesitation.

It is such good news to hear that Kia is improving so! I hope she has a full recovery VERY soon. Mommie is worried, I can tell.

Many, many get well wishes KIA!

I am so glad Kia is doing better..

Proheart injections, There has been two healthy dogs die after receiving the proheart injection here. I am still giving my dogs heart gard plus. I will not change. Proheart doesn't cover the other internal parisites like heartgard, interceptor or sentinel. and it cost more than heartgard and interceptor. Sentinel does cost more as it have the flea control in it. I don't like revolution either as it doesnt work on the fleas and ticks as well and at the vet clinic i worked at. we had 3 dogs this year test positive for heartworms.

I'm glad to read that Kia is getting better and hope that she makes a full recovery soon.

Wonderful news! Sounds like Kia is getting better and better each day!!! Good girl, Kia!!!! Give her a big kiss on the nose for me!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, this is great news. I'm so glad that she's beginning to eat again on her own. I'm sure she'll make a complete recovery in no time.

To the lovely blue-eye girl: keep it up sweet Kia, eat a little bit more every day and you'll be well in no time.
Big hug and many kisses from us.
