Feeling very sad this evening - Poppy had a seizure this afternoon, the first one in getting on for two years. There was no warning, no triggers that I can identify, she just suddenly looked ill, I let her out into the garden as I thought she was going to be sick, and the next thing I know OH is shouting for me that she is having a fit. Poor thing, in the mud and snow, with OH holding her to stop her bashing herself on the terrace steps. It was a big one too, eight minutes before I managed to get the diazepam into her and things calmed down a bit. Poor little thing, she was so frightened. Thank goodness we were there, thank goodness it was at home and that I had the medication to hand.
She seems ok now, bit sleepy from the diazepam but otherwise back to normal. Merlin was such a good boy too - concerned, but not intrusive.
I'm so upset. I thought it was all behind us, and that as long as we avoided tick and flea medication she'd be all right. I have no idea what brought this on.
She's not on medication, we'd just been on a lovely snowy walk and she'd had her normal supper, and then wham, she's having a major fit. My lovely girl, I'm worried about her.
