Snoopy is Having Testing Done - Prayers Needed

[Logan]

Diana, I have not been around much, lately, and I had no idea what was going on with Snoopy. I know this is a tough situation for you all. Snoopy and you all will be in my prayers.

diana, i'm with you on the costs. as much as i love alex, and over the last 11 years i've spent immense sums, there is no way i could pay that type of money for out of pocket medicines costs. i have to pay for shelter, living and work expenses. and while i know osu vet school is very good, i' always surprised by the final costs, almost as much as an human hospital, and it's not pay in portions for in-state residents. sleep sweet, ear skritchies to all the furries

Snoopy is in our prayers and will stay there. Poor guy, he's such a sweetheart, and he's had such a hard time since the seizures started increasing. I hear you about the $$$, some of those tests are unbelievably expensive. Hopefully the changes in meds will help. Please plant a few big smooches on his spotty little head for us.

What is the dosage on the Keppra? I think it was 1 pill in the morning and one in the evening, but what size tables are they (how many mg of medicine?)

I'm glad he's home with you Diana.

Prayers for Snoopy are on the way!

Amy, Snoopy is on 500 mg tablets of Keppra twice aday. The price doesn't seem to be much different in Canada.

I waited to start the meds this morning. I just would prefer that I was monitoring him for the first time. So far he is acting very drugged and drinking and peeing ALOT. In fact twice so far he has not been able to make it out. He has eaten a little but mostly just the canned new food which is just a small percentage of what he is suppose to get. He is very unsteady on his feet. Actually at this point, he can barely walk without falling all over. All this is very sad to see such a vital, active dog at this point. And of course, he wants to be with me constantly - if I go to another room, so does he. With the kids and all the dogs here it is very hard to stay in one spot very long. Poor, poor Snoopy!

Oh Diana, what a heartbreaking situation. I am still sending up strong
prayers for Snoop and all the family too. I am so sorry he feels so bad.
(((Hugs))) from Indy.

oh Diana -

give Snoopy a big gentle hug for me...

[chocolatepuppy]

Poor Snoopy. Prayers for both him and your entire family. {hugs}

(((Big Hugs))) to you! My RB dog, Ashley, was on Phenobarb for years for her seizures. She ultimately succumbed to "liver issues" most likely as a result of her years on Phenobarb. The medication had controlled her seizures 100% and allowed her to live a good life and for that I am grateful. Her liver was extremely enlarged on x-ray and I chose to not go further (biopsy). She was 14 years old and had lived a wonderful life. I just want you to know that, no matter whatever choices you need to make in the days ahead, you have all of our love and support.

Diana I can't imagine how stressful this is on all of you right now. It just break my heart

I'll be continuing to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers (I hope you find that buried treasure)

Many (((HUGS))) to you, your family and the furkids...especially dear sweet Snoopy.

Oh Diana,
My heart goes out to you. I know all dogs are active, but with Snoopy being part Dally, I can just imagine how active he is!!!!!
{{{{{gentle hugs}}}}} to Snoopy, and {{{{{great big BEAR hugs}}}}}} to you.

Diana, I am just now reading through this thread for the first time. I am so very sorry that Snoopy is so ill. I agree 100% with what Pam has said, and I support whatever you feel you need to do for your dear Snoopy!
Please give him hugs and pets for me!

HUGS TO YOU!
