Re: Pets chit chat thread
Our Boston had a really bad seizure yesterday (either an extended Grand Mal or cluster seizures) he was in and out of them for at least an hour. The emergency very got him stable and we're taking him in today for blood work at our usual vet, but it's not looking good. He's almost 8. There's likely an underlying cause and if it's anything serious we're going to have to put him down.
The Newfie we adopted a year ago is doing well. We got her on a jointjsupplement and she's had regular pain meds for the last year, but she's happy. And we adopted an Australian Shepherd/Burnese mountain dog mix shortly after we adopted her. The mix has been a real good friend to our Boston, they've been buddies since day one.
This sucks.
UPDATE:
He passed away last night. The seizures overcame the medicine he was on and he had three in as many hours. The first two were short and stopped on their own after a minute or so. The last one we had to give him an injection to get it to stop (my girlfriend is trained as a vet assistant so thankfully they sent us home with some stronger meds to keep him comfortable until we could get him to the vet to be put to sleep).
