My Roxy is only 4 years old. She has been having seizures since she was 2 months old. She also has liver disease. She has been on PhenoBarb16.2 mg 2X a day and Potassium brom 100ml 2X a day.
She has not been herself lately, I thought due to the meds. We had increased them recently. I explained her symptoms, panting, coughing when taking a walk, not being able to jump up on couch and bed, etc.
The vet did a X-ray and took me in the back.
He put his arm around me and said, "I'm really sorry, her liver is huge. It is pushng on all of her organs."
Needless to say, I am in shock. The vet put her on an additional 4 meds to make her "comfortable".
Roxy’s meds
Phenobarbitol 16.2 mg 2X a day
Potassium Brom 100ML 2X a day
Hepatrophin PMG 1 Tab 2X a day
Aminophylline ˝ Tab 2X a day
Denosyl 225 MG once a day 1 hour before breakfast
Tramadol 50 MG ˝ Tab 2X a day
She was really bad the last 2 nights. Peeing where she sleeps, panting from pain and not eating. I wanted to put her to sleep, but my husband and 12 year old son can't bear to do it.
Today she is doing pretty good. She ate dinner, not breakfast and took all of her meds. Now I can't seem to think about putting her to sleep when she perks up. I know she is suffering, but when she seems like herself it's too hard.
I will update on her status soon.
Roxy's Mom,
Maria
