Just got back from seeing Max. He seemed to be in good spirits. He was happy to see us. He's still getting IVF for hydration. The phenobarb was started @ midnight; it was a loading dose which the vet explained was a high dose. He started pills today at noon. No more valium, that was given last night to help him settle after the seizure. He ate some of his food, I hope he keeps it down.
The next step is to do a BAT tomorrow before the phenobarb can affect the levels. I asked the vet about the liver shunt. He said that yes, he is too old for the congenital form, but he can have the acquired type..MVD? I will ask for a referral to the neurologist.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'm going to try to nap. |
