4 seizures so far.Tests in hospital tomorrow - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Beachitmom · 10-06-2005, 10:44 AM

My worst nightmare has come true. Roxy is having seizures. The very 1st ones were in May when she stayed with my sister in law. They said she had five. Rushed her to the hospital kept her for observations and she never had another one after that. I thought Roxy got into her plants or something.

Last night at 9:30pm out of nowhere Roxy had a seizure. I have never seen anything like it. I thought she was dying! Her whole body was stiff and shaking uncontrolably. A lot of foam came out of her mouth. The worst part was when it stopped- she didn't know us, her eyes were all glazed over. She looked like she was another dog. Then, she was fine, but very tired.

Her next one was at 4:30am neddless to say we didn't sleep.

Her 3rd one was at 9:00am today(Oct 6) I rushed her to the vet. They gave her a perscription for valium and scheduled her for hospitalization, Bile Acid, bllod work and urinalysis. They couldn't do it today because she has to fast.

Her 4th seizure was at about 12:00pm. This was the WORST one. Her mouth was wide open and she was flipping all over. I picked her up to calm her and she urinated all over. I rushed her to the vet again. I refused to take to the hospital over night because I know I would never be able to afford it.

It's almost 3:00pm and no more seizures yet. I can't leave her side. I need a shower from the pee bath!!

Please keep Roxy in your prayers. My family is sick over this. She is our only little girl!!(I have 3 boys) I hope she doesn't have liver shunt. I can't even contact who I bought her from. She moved back south because her husband passed away.

Thanks, I have been glued to this website, but I think I have information overload now. I am so scared, there seems to be so much that could be wrong. I'm just going to keep good thoughts in my head.

yorkieusa · 10-06-2005, 12:05 PM

Maria, I'm so sorry this has happened and sorry for her to have to go through all of this. I just hope they can "fix her up" so she can be healthy again.

Baron · 10-06-2005, 12:13 PM

How old is Roxy? Is she an older dog, or just a pup?

Yorkieluv · 10-06-2005, 12:21 PM

I am so sorry to hear that Roxy has been having seizures...I know this is such a hard time for you because I can remember when this happened to my Miko not that long ago. It's very scary to see. Continue to pray for your little one and she'll be in our thoughts and prayers too. Keep us posted on her progress and test results.

Beachitmom · 10-06-2005, 12:41 PM

Roxy was born on December 14, 2004. She is 9 months old.

Thanks again for all of the support. My husband and I will probably have another sleepless night. I just hope my youngest son (9 years old) doesn't witness a seizure. My older sons (17 and 19) did see it, and they were freaked out.
I will be on and off. So any suggestions are welcome!

fourdez · 10-06-2005, 02:19 PM

Oh my, I hope its nothing serious.. I'll be thinking of you.

SilverStarShado · 10-06-2005, 02:25 PM

I feel so bad for her. I have seizures so I can say that I know what she is going thru. When she has one, stay calm and put her on something flat to help her stay more comfortable. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers...Bless you.

Beachitmom · 10-06-2005, 03:11 PM

7:00pm- Roxy had her 5th seizure since 9:30pm last night. I sent my 9 year old to his room so he wouldn't see it. She had her worst one yet. This time her legs were in motion so it was hard to comfort her. She was also biting the air and she urinated and foamed again. This time she wasn't calm after, she ran around the house like she was afraid of us.
This is the worst. I can't believe it is happening. I hope we make it through this night.

Maria...I feel so bad for what your going through. I went through
the identical thing with a Bassett Hound I had years back and just
reading your post made me relive those horrible days all over again.
You will be in my thoughts and I pray you have a happier ending
than what we did.

Baron · 10-06-2005, 03:43 PM

did your vet by chance give you any special food to feed her until the test results are in? If they are testing for Shunt, she should be on a low protien diet until they find out for sure.

Beachitmom · 10-06-2005, 03:54 PM

No, my vet did not say anything about special food. I made her scrambled eggs and mixed it with her Royal Canin puppy food. She ate the whole bowl,that was at 4:30.
The vet gave Roxy valium. She was in terrible shape from that medicine. She bumped into everything, couldn't jump up or down on the couch, and pee peed in the house.
Gave her 10mg at 2:00pm. But, at 7:00pm she had another seizure. I can't give the meds to her again until 10:00pm.
Roxy's testing appointment is for 7:45am tomorrow. She can't have anything to eat after 8:00pm, so how am I supposed to give her the meds at 10:00pm?
Do you think I should give her the valium at 8:00pm? I think I might call the vet.
