Poppy seizures - medicating with Pexion

[Joy]

Poor Poppy - I hope she settles again now. xx

 

[FayRose]

I hope she's OK and that the heavy atmosphere has lifted. It can cause more sensitivity in epileptic dogs - did for BJ too. Sounds like you've been having a very busy, possibly a bit of a stressy time too. Very best wishes for Poppy's operation and quick recovery.

So sorry to read this.
I hope she is feeling better today and that the operation goes well. X

 

[MellowYellow]

Thank you everyone. She seems right as rain again now...

Jake was epileptic and had to have a hip replacement, he did have a fit when recuperating, but other than that he coped with an op, so I am hopeful for you that Poppy will be fine with her op.

Yes this is my worry, that the operation and recuperation will be stressful for her (of course), and bring on a seizure, which will be no fun at all especially in the first six weeks when we have to be very vigilant. We will just have to be very vigilant and keep an eye on her at all times.

Hope Poppy is ok and that the operation and recovery time go smoothly c

Sending lots of love. Having a big op is bad enough let alone the worry of a seizure. Keeping a close eye on them is stressful too,

We decided not to go ahead with the operation, as she is actually doing a lot better and not limping anywhere near as much.

Well, for the first time in 18 months, Poppy had one of her shaky, anxious episodes yesterday. She had just had her supper, and I had given her and Merlin each a large biscuit to chew on - she dropped the biscuit (Merlin of course pounced on it) - this is unheard of for Poppy. She was wandering all over the house, trying to find a place where she felt safe. Eventually she settled on her bed under OH's desk, and I just sat quietly with her. She was shaking and panting, and clearly very worried and anxious, but it was not so bad that we had to give her diazepam. This episode lasted about 30 minutes. Nothing to do really, I just wanted to note it down here to keep a record.

Sorry to read this about Poppy. I’m glad she didn’t need medication. A shock for you though after 18 months free of seizures

So sorry Karen @MellowYellow , what a shame for Poppy after such a long remission xxx

 

[Selina27]

Not very nice for you to witness Karen

 

[Cath]

Poor girl and poor you. Sending love and hugs to everyone

 

[Granca]

Poor Poppy and poor you, Karen. I hope she’s fine today and it was just a rare blip.

 

[MellowYellow]

Poor Poppy and poor you, Karen. I hope she’s fine today and it was just a rare blip.

I hope so too!!

So sorry to read this. But happy it was manageable without meds. So distressing for you all. Except Merlin, who scored an extra biscuit!

Having had an epileptic dog I can understand your concern, thankfully it didn't sound as if you had to give medication and she has now recovered, Not pleasant though after 18 months free, fingers crossed she will be fit free for at least another 18 months.

 

[Naya]

Poor girl. So glad she has you to sit with her in a place she feels safe. Hope you are all ok today x
