How about your Murphy?

Hey Kathy....you know I think he starts to act funny but NO he really does not try to get to me. Although once it hits he does try to get to me. My mother in law has a dog who has seizures worse than Murphy does and HE DOES try to get to her before they come on so it sounds like that is what Winston is doing as well.

I feel so bad because I feel like he is coming to me so that I can make it all better but I can't do anything but hold him until its over. He locks his eyes with mine the entire time and I just have to hope that I'm somehow giving him comfort.

OMG that is making me cry right now...I hate that it happens to him like that. UGH..it just breaks my heart to know we can not do anything. I have to say the Vet told me they are not in pain when they are going through it. They are just scared so the best thing to do is exactly what you are doing - just be there and try to comfort him.

Sending lost of hugs and prayers your way....I wish there was something I could do.

I wish, hope and pray that all the furbabies seizures would stop...Wouldn't that be a blessing? I know I would feel blessed.
I definitely think that Winston "knows" a few minutes in advance...He tries to get to me, and usually wants me to hold him in my lap. That is when I grab the NutriCal...But I feel so bad for him, I absolutely hate to see him like that. Hence, the frequent puppy food feedings...to keep his sugar up at all times. So far, so good!!!

Oh that is great news....I am so happy for Winston. Murphy is on his 2nd week of meds and so far so good. We go back to the Vet next week for a review and to see how he is doing. I am praying for all of our babies.

Caren, I'm just now seeing this thread.....I'm so sorry that your Murphy is going through this...When I saw Murphy on your video I cried.....

I'm so glad Murphy is feeling better...I see you have him on meds...Is he going to have to be on them for life?.... or just a short time, them can he be removed from them and lead a normal life?....Are the meds allowing him to run and play ?

I'm sorry if you have addressed these issues already....
