I'm just curious, I wonder why - given the severity of what happened - why the vet might not keep her on a low-dose anti-seizure med for longer term, if not for life, ya know? Just curious.
Give Uma big hugs from us!  |
Uma is so independent I am sure she willed herself to get better! I'm almost sure the resrictions on her activities kicked in that stubborn little Yorkie spirit and she became determined to show me she was capable of doing more. As to why wean her off the Pheno? He wants to make sure the seizures were NOT due to the meningitis. If at any time she has another seizure I am to give a ramped up dose during the seizure and get her to the ER ASAP. If this happens,Please,please not, she will have to be on Pheno the rest of her life. He just wants to make sure esp. since Pheno. is bad for their little livers. Uma weighed 4.4 pounds today and that is after eating a good breakfast. She is very fine boned and delicate, don't tell her that though!, I hate for her to be on any med. unless they are 100% sure the med. will do more good than harm. So, we will wait and see. It is scary to do this, but the thought of liver damage is also scary.
