Can my cat friends spare a prayer for a Labrador Retriever, please?

[Medusa]

Thank you so much. I'll be sure to peruse it.

Bailey has been having petit mal seizures now, no grand mal again, thank goodness. My friend's vet gave him liquid valium to inject into Bailey's rectum should she start to have a grand mal. And he has an appt. w/an internal specialist tomorrow, so hopefully, she'll have something definitive to tell him and let's pray it's something he can deal with. I'll post when I know more.

IMOM is generally for surgery, but they can at least recommend another service.

There is also a credit service, where you pay no interest if you pay off the loan in three months. Let me know if this is of help. I can't recall the link at the moment.

My friend called me at work and said that all of Bailey's blood work came back normal again. She was at the vet's all day yesterday. The vet even had her fast, then tested her, then fed her, then tested her again. She ran all kinds of tests on her except an MRI. She even did another leptospirosis test just to be certain. Her educated guess is that Bailey has liver trouble but she's not sure exactly what kind. An MRI would tell more, I guess. My friend is short on funds right now, being a landscaper who is just now getting back to work for the season, so he doesn't have $1000 or more to spare. Bailey is back to her old self and hasn't had any seizures in a few days. But if she has another grand mal, then I think the MRI is called for. If I have to, I'll have him work off the loan by doing landscaping for me. I'll be needing a lawn treatment soon plus pruning, etc. But I'm hoping I won't have to do that. I like to keep a reserve in case one of my furkids gets sick. But more than that, I just don't want Bailey to get sick again. He'll get the lepto test results tomorrow and I'll post when I know more. Thanx for all your prayers. PTers are powerful!

Mary, I just saw this thread today. Prayers and good thoughts and happy feelings are being prayed, thought, and felt for Bailey and that she maintains her good health. Please keep us posted, especially if she ever has another seizure.

Hugs and Purrs,
