My Samie will sometimes get water up her nose and have a mini spell. Normally at night time is when she will have an episode if she is going to have one. Keep us posted. the hydromet is "hydrocodone" compounded into a liquid form. It helps a lot but I only give it when I absolutely have to. Halloween this year she had her last bad spell. All of the kids trick or treating made her get so excited when they came to the door that it made me worry so bad. My husband and I decided it was best to sit outside and pass out the candy. The hydomet makes her a little sleepy. She does fine on the flovent though. I felt really scared at first having to mask her. ANd it makes me sad. But I will do whatever it takes to keep her comfortable. It helps control her CT. It is not a rescue inhaler. It makes her pant at night when she trys to sleep so whenever she does that I back off of the Flovent for a couple days. Sometimes only once a day I will give it to her. Someone on YT posted a video of their dog possibly having an episode. try to do a search for it. I do not have a video of my dog. If I am able to get one I will. At the moment I am w/o a camera. |
i took him to the er vet today and they did not want to give him a cough suppressant because of his age (14 weeks), they gave him an antibiotic to hold us off until i can see my regular vet, which his routine shots and check-up are friday, so we will see if he improves. im so sorry to hear your baby has these spells. its so scary because there is really nothing you can do!
