She will come home today and just lay around. As far as increased appetite I would recommend finding very light treats to give her. I gave Max Gerber Puffs and he really enjoyed them.
Don't think about her being on medicine forever. It's one day at a time. I have been told by numerous vets that seizures do not require medication unless they are frequent (TBD by vet, I suppose). Even once/month seizures may not be frequent enough to require medication. |
Thanks. I'm new to all of this . . last time she came home and was groggy and not herself was when she was spayed . . .it's hard on me and on Brody who's been beside himself looking for her . ..
I too, will take it one day at a time . . .I just feel so helpless . . .
