It looks like one of my dogs (Dizzy) is epileptic(sp) she has had two majorly violent looking fits today.... I am told by the vets and by the websites I am looking at currently that the dog doesn't feel any pain and shuts off... It is so scary and very upsetting.... The first fit happened just as I came home.. And bless my neighbour I banged on their door and they gave me a lift to the vets! the second happened about 10pm tonight and we rushed her to the 24/7 animal hospital... I delt with the second fit better but still upsetting...
She has had a blood test and should get the results in two days, then if no solution from that she is having an MRI scan... And if no solution from that, then she is simply epileptic... And will be like this for the rest of her life... I am so sad. She is just like a child to me.
I think the main thing I hate about it, is I can do nothing.. I have to simply make sure she is in a safe postion (such as not on top of the stairs) and simply leave her to it....... I was stroking her and calmly calling her name and telling her it will be ok, but the vet said it won't work... Screw that, I am still going to do it.
Anyway... Not sure really why I just shared that... Anyone else out there have to deal with epilepsy in the family home? Be it four legged or two legged member of the family? How do you deal with it?
Says here on one site that full moon fits are not just folklore but have been proven... Well it's the 18th of june and it's a full moon tonight.... And here we are... My poor poor baby Dizzy.
