 Seizure and Diabetes
My 15 1/2 year old yorkie Zack has been treated for diabetes with moduret tablets and was working until recently but he's now wetting again a lot and drinking excessively. I was due to see the vet yesterday but had to rush in on Saturday evening as he was vomitting a lot - which he had treatment for and is okay now but he also had what looked like a mini stroke which really frightened me thinking I was going to lose him. I described the symptoms to the vet and how long it lasted and he thought it couldn't be a stroke as he recovered the use of his body too quickly. He thought it was a type of a seizure called a petit mal - I wonder if anyone else's yorkies have suffered with this. He's never had one before and I wondered what caused it. I am keeping an eye on him incase it happens again as the vet said he can treat it. Also we are having more diagnostic tests as to why the tablets don't seem to be working anymore. Does any one have any experience with this as well as I'd be interested to hear what tests your dog's had done? Zack has already had kidney and liver function tests and also cushings which all came back negative. I can't think what else the vet could be testing for - he seems well otherwise. |
