QI Prayers again, please

Ok, here we go again. DeAnna apparently had a seizure this afternoon, much like the one she had earlier that was diagnosed with vestibular disease. She was shaking, front legs would lock, she piddled on the floor, head shaking, eyes bouncing from side to side - very scary to say the least.

So we called the vet and I called DH (who was on his way home) and told him to meet us there. Saw the main doc this time, and he had her blood pressure taken, took a look at her eyes and ears, and listened to all that had happened. From start to end, the episode was about 45 minutes long. By the time we had gotten to the vet, things were settling down a bit, though she was still a little shaky. Her eyes stopped being all wonky, and DS said that when he was sitting with her in the car (while I got DD into her shoes and out the door), her eyes were going in different directions.

Anyway, since it was about 3 months ago that the first happened, the doc that we saw today thinks that the first might have actually been a seizure in conjunction with vestibular disease. He put her on phenabarbitol (sp?) to try and get the seizures under control. He will see her again in a month - I have to call tomorrow to set up an appointment because I didn't have my schedule with me.

Anyway...the kids were pretty shaken up as well, but have calmed down now that they know she is okay (for the time being).

Thanks

Larisa

You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. I know it's hard, but these kinds of events serve to teach our children how to be strong when life is hard and how to love and let go.

Hugs, Sunny

Most of us worry about our 4 legged babies as much as our 2 legged ones. I think Sunny is right about our children learning about life with pets, but it still doesn't make it any easier at the time. I figure you must be a very strong woman, thinking of the saying that "God doesn't give us any more than we can handle". Please take time for you, and try not to blow things out of proportion so that they seem worse than they are. I know, easier said than done, but if you can do it, it will help to ease your stress levels some. I know that specially at night my brain starts going and I can really get worked up.

Larissa, i had a beloved Cocker Spaniel named Buster, he had epilepsy. Vet saw him once every 3 months after starting him on meds. sad to say, he slipped into a coma during one seizure and we had to send him over the Rainbow Bridge. saddest day of my life. hopefully De Anna wont go that route. All my {{{hugs}}} and prayers to you and DeAnna.

First I want to thank all of you who have responded to the original post with thoughts, kind words, etc. They meant the world to me.

However, my darling DeAnna girl just couldn't hold on. SHe had another seizure today and didn't recover from it. She was falling over every time she tried to walk and her eyes were doing that vibrating ping-pong thingy. This time her eyes never stopped pinging, and I was watching her closely from 215 until she passed quietly away from me at the vet's office.

DS was told by hubby what had happened, and I explained it to DD. I don't think that DD fully understands, and I'm pretty sure DS will have nightmares tonight. Hubby even started crying, and he kept telling me that he didn't like her and she was NOT the dog he would have picked - what a liar he was. He finally admitted today that he really loved her and that she was a good dog and filled a space in this family that now feels horribly empty.

Me, well, I had some time with her before the doc came in and i cried and held her and told her how much we loved her and how special she was to all of us. I thought I was going to be okay, but I was wrong. We all were talking to her and petting her and I rested my head on her and rubbed her favorite spot on the bottom of her neck, and then she was just gone. Precious girl just looked like she was in a deep sleep. I think they told me goodbye when I walked out, but I don't know as I almost collapsed when trying to walk out to the car. SOmehow I made it home and DH and I cried together and DS came and gave me a huge hug.

I know she's in a better place and not in pain or confused and dioriented anymore, but it still hurts to know that she won't be sleeping next to my side of the bed or following me all over the place.

Go in peace DeAnna pup, you were a joy and a blessing to our entire family and you will be greatly missed.

I am sorry about the struggle your pet had :( I am sure she knew how well lloved she was and that you were with her in the end meant a lot to her. I have lost some pets in the past, but I try to remeber it would nt hurt so much when they leave, if I didnt love them so much while they were here. Your DeAnna had a wonderful loving home for her time here and that is an amazing thing :)

Damn, damn, damn. I just hate to read these posts and the terrible sadness and heartbreak. I'm bawling along with you. Our precious dogs just never stay around us as long as we'd like them to be here. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so, so, so sorry, Larisa. You gave her a good life, and helped her have a good passage. May your memories of her be a comfort to you, knowing what you each meant to the other.

So sorry to hear of DAnna's passing. At least she is now at peace and healthy - and she will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. She will always be with you in spirit until that time when you meet again.
