I feel kind of silly taking him to the vet tomorrow...When he's feeling good, he is totally fine.

Sorry to hear your Spanky went thru this, but Oh so happy she's not experiencing them any more, could I be so lucky? I've heard scary things about Phenobarb...and I doubt that I'll give him anything like that unless it gets a whole lot worse. Mostly just want to know what it is, or more importantly what it's not...Anyway, thanks for your input...and well wishes. I'll let everybody know what, if anything I find out. |
IMO never feel like your overly concerned...this is like a child and these drs/vets are there to help and answer ANYTHING you throw at them! If the visit is 30 minutes and you pay 40 for the office call....trust me they made thier money! Leave no stone unturned! My Diggy had seizures also and the breeder and her vet tried to convince me he was no seizing and simply trying not to vomit...RIDICULOUS The breeder refused to pay for any tests and wanted to give me my $$ back. NO WAY I spent hours on the phone with the breeder and hours of her trying to convince me I was PARANOID and over thinking this! Thank God for this site I started coming in here and getting advice comparing symptoms and narrowed it down to Hypoglycemia or Liver issue. Did the bile acid, his numbers were great, and his sugar was way down. It was simply Hypo and controlled with frequent feedings, and nutrical. Had I given up, I am sure he would have suffered many more seizures that were completely preventable with some persistance. PLease stay strong and don't feel like your paranoid and over thinking. You need peace of mind and to be able to enjoy your baby. I wish you luck and strength. Get a piece of paper write down your questions AND their answers. I know when I am nervous and upset I forget half the stuff being said. I pulled out my list and went right down it ? after? and the vet actually said, You are the most knowledgable yorkie mom she had ever came across and it helped her soooo much. She welcomes the noted and symptoms, his feeding schedule potty schedule and every little move he made! It probably was a smidge on the overboard side lol but none the less she loved it and applauded me on my efforts for this baby. So ask away and be persistant. This is your baby, and their job to help you!
