Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Keep Jack in your thoughts Jack had some kind of attack or seizure as I arrived at the dog meetup today. He fell on his back and was in distress, then went limp. I thought I'd lost him right there. Fortunately, I was a couple blocks from pet emergency and got him there quickly. They put him on a respirator because he wasn't breathing on his own, but he started breathing on his own within minutes and they took it off. Bloodwork and X-rays mostly normal, but glucose was high. Vet said that could either be a sign of this one episode and whatever caused it or a sign of diabetes. So maybe epileptic attack, I dunno. I don't think he got into anything bad. Biggest fear right now is brain damage. She said he was posturing sort of strangely once he started coming around, kicking is legs out. He's now heavily sedated, so he didn't show any signs of recognition when he saw me. So they're going to watch him for a couple hours and let me know. Just wanted to get some happy thoughts going here on YT! Here he is after his last haircut.

| Hi Mike Hope that Jack is feeling better. We have been having the same tyoe if problems with Alfie we have been to the vet and had all sorts of tests and everything comes back OK he has had about 4 episodes so far about 6 weeks apart and then he went 10 weeks without one and then bam!!! They think it may be epilepsy but dont want to put him on any medication right now , so I know how you feel...it is so scary and you feel so helpless.I hope they can figure out what is going on with Jack, we are thinking of you.

| This is a tough one as I know how much this little dude means to you and I can only hope that the vets can bring him around. He so looks like my little moose who is also a rescue but the gang here is all sending big thoughts to the big guy up in the sky to let us keep Jack longer down here.
