alex the wonder dog and a cluster

[joycenalex]

alex is caught in a cluster of seizures. we took him to the vet er last night at 12 when he'd had 2 fairly close together. he was admitted at 3 am, i picked him up, no seizures there, paid the bill( ) and took him to the regular vet at 7:30 am. he stayed there all day, getting cookies and pats. he had a seizure there at 3:45pm, 15 minutes after i talked to his vet. i brought him home at 5, he had dinner, a short 2 houses walk, then on to the couch for tv before bed, yep you guessed it, another grand mal seizure. since last friday pm, he's had at least 9. he's also got a boatload of phenobarb and valium in him. he's now sleeping, very soundly. i 'll call the regular vet in the am to update her. please spare a prayer for my sweet dog. and i need some sleep

I'm sorry. I hope you both get some sleep tonight and that Alex is much better when you awaken. It's hard to have our furry ones sick. Give Alex some lovin' from me.
