First my sympathies for what you and your Yorkie are going through. We have a 4.5 lb yorkie pom cross that we rescued from her former owners. She had beed dropped/thrown at 6weeks. When we got her she was blind deaf and having many many siezures.
The vet gave her medication to reduce the swelling of the brain and put her on Potassium Bromide to get the seisures under control.
The swelling went down and she has most of her sight back, is still deaf and as far as we can tell she has been seizure free untill recently. The potassium bromide was discontinued after a year. But She has just recently had a couple of petite mal siesures.
She was under a bit of stress with the addition of a dog we were house sitting. She suffered a loss of balance and focus and shaking for about a minute. We are watching her closely. We will be going to the vet soon but she has been good for a couple of weeks since The "guest" left.
It brought back memories all the helplessness we went through when we first got Emmie! Our other 2 Yorkies were all over her checking her out when she recovered.
Good luck to you and yours. It is a scary thing to go through! |
