I hope Mitzi feels better. But I do hope you take her to the vet ASAP. |
Well... our Mitzi has gone to rainbow bridge 2 years ago and it's Mikki our 2 y.o. that has the seizures (I know it's confusing with all the 'M's... LOL)
Mikki is under constant vet care and I record her seizures in a log that lists date, time, duration, possible triggers, and noticed behaviours before and after. She is not on any medication b/c the vets don't see the necessity and have the opinion that a seizure medication would do more harm than good. This is the opinion of two different vets in two different states and I felt comfortable with both.
Of course I will do the best I can for our little girl and every new information is precious to me. If Mikki needs to get medication she will get it, no question. For example our Maggie who suffers from severe allergies is on Atopica even though we know it might compromise her immune system but nothing else helps her to have a somewhat itchfree life. I'm just not for giving (or also taking myself) pills to suppress the symptoms if there are other ways to treat the illness. However, I thank you for your concerns regarding the well being of our precious Mikki girl...
