Default Keep Jack in your thoughts

Jack had some kind of attack or seizure as I arrived at the dog meetup today. He fell on his back and was in distress, then went limp. I thought I'd lost him right there.

Fortunately, I was a couple blocks from pet emergency and got him there quickly. They put him on a respirator because he wasn't breathing on his own, but he started breathing on his own within minutes and they took it off.

Bloodwork and X-rays mostly normal, but glucose was high. Vet said that could either be a sign of this one episode and whatever caused it or a sign of diabetes. So maybe epileptic attack, I dunno. I don't think he got into anything bad.

Biggest fear right now is brain damage. She said he was posturing sort of strangely once he started coming around, kicking is legs out. He's now heavily sedated, so he didn't show any signs of recognition when he saw me.

So they're going to watch him for a couple hours and let me know.

Just wanted to get some happy thoughts going here on YT!

Here he is after his last haircut.
