Took Jack to the vets today - he has been having some accidents and is losing weight gradually. They did an expensive blood test which I will get the results from tomorrow. He does not have an infection or bladder stones. So he could be just getting senile OR it could be Cushings Disease - the test to find out is expensive (although if we look at Snoopy's recent health tests it is not so bad.) However if it is Cushing it means another expensive drug for the rest of his life. The vet said it may be in the same vicinity of the price of Snoopy's Keppra. OH, how we cannot afford that!
So I am asking for lots of prayers that it is not Cushings but something that can be helped in a much less expensive way. PT prayers work - so please pray hard!
Snoopy just started having seizures - the first time in a long time that he has had two so close together -NOT good news at all. They were aonly about ten minutes apart. I called the vet during the 2nd one and he said to give him 3 more valium (after the 3 I just gave him). I have to call him at ten if he doesn't have another one and we will talk about what to do overnight. If he has another one then I have to take him down to the vet's office so he can get them under control. Then he will be showing me how to give valium rectally so the next time I can give it to him before he comes completely out of it.
Something is not right now. Snoopy should be knocked out by now and he isn't. Pray hard from my boys!!!
