 Seizures
When will your vet be back? I would want to know how long Becka needs to be on the low protien diet before you would see optimal results. If your vet will be in this week then you could wait. My vet said that you can stop the medication if you felt you needed to...just wean them off of it (this was per a discussion about changing meds or medical breakthroughs) I too worry that epilepsy is just the blanket diagnosis for seizures. Daisy was fine until her first heat cycle. She had her first seizure in the end of November, two in December, 1 in January (started meds January 16th), one in Febuary, one in March and two so far this month. I keep a diary of when she has a seizure. What was occurring (excitement upon returning home, etc), also what the weather is like. I keep hoping to see a pattern. So far 6 of her 8 seizures have been upon my returning home. Also, I don't know if she is seizing when I am not here. I am thinking seriously of taking her to LSU vet school for further testing. I don't want to put her through additional pain but I want to do everything I can to help her. |
