In less happy news, Mr Peabody had a bad seizure today. He seems okay now, if a little wobbly, but he hasn't had anything to eat or drink. I don't want to go to bed until he at least drinks something.
My vet thinks it's low thyroid and he takes thyroid pills. She thinks anti-seizure drugs have enough side effects that she hesitates to prescribe them unless a dog is having frequent seizures. He only has a few a year, but they are scary.
I'm so sorry, Ginger. Our Buffy (our rescue dog) could have been between 1 and 5 years when we got her (the vet estimate was 2 to 4 years), but I want every year of her life.
What did you do when Mr. Peabody had a seizure?
All I can do is put him on a soft surface and wait it out. Usually he only has spasms for a few minutes, but then breathes really fast and has a wild look in his eyes for 15 minutes or so. I pet him and talk to him until he's better.
That would be scary for me, and I see humans having seizures on a weekly if not daily basis, Ginger.
Epic, I'm glad your mom's coming home.
Hi, Cindy!
Stupid computer just ate my post. Rather than re-writing, I'll just say thanks again for the support, All. You guys are the bestest.
Northerner help me out. Is it "hot dish" or "hotdish"?
"Casserole"?
Ginger, sorry you & Mr. P are having a rough day. Hope he's feeling better.
Good to see you, Cindy!
Ginger, Sassafras had seizures that were controlled by melds. It really helped to go to a specialist so she could prescribe those in the lowest dose.and discuss pros and cons with us. I will ping you at your profile address.
Lovely to read you, Cindy!
Morning all.
Wow, congrats to Juliana, Kate and sj!!
Guess who has two crutches and the new right to move the US with her American spouse? THIS GIRL. :D
Thanks, Seska!

Any chance of this actually happening?

We're thinking about it, in a long-term way. Maybe after I've finished my PhD.
