Its so fustrating to watch someones ignorance, especially when a poor animal is concerned. Its just like telling someone how to raise thier kids. Good luck. Be careful what you do because out of spite she may do the opposite of what you recommend.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Re: I cant go on vacation

Well I didn't bring up the topic last night. Im going to let him bring it up & I will shut my mouth 3 nights/4 nights whatever. I will swallow my pride & go how ever many nights he wants. I read a saying on the canine epilepsy site "Live with dogs not for dogs" maybe I'll get some strenght out of that phase (although I know differently).

Hubby just doesnt get it. After all that has happened between Chazzy's pinched nerve & Kiya's seizures, I feel that going on a ski trip New Years Eve (4 nights) is out of the question, its less than a month away. Granted I have SEVERE separation issues from my animals but under these circumstances its justified. Last night I said we could go mid January, its cheaper anyway. Of course he said he found a (3) night package deal for new years eve the same price as mid jan. Well my mistake was to say ok I'll go for 3 nights but not 4. That was it bla, bla bla on how I always want to cut the trip short & how his life doesnt revolve around the dogs. I know its me, Im rediculous. His sister will take care of everyone & I have a friend who can check on them. If it were up to me I probably would never go away. I don't know how to break myself from this. Good thing I don't have human kids.

Collars, crates, & other cool things / Re: dog booties

I picked up cheap ones from Jeffers just to try them. I haven't used them outside yet, thier quilted & have a no skid pad on the bottom...so since Kiya is still a little out of it from the meds, I put them on her to help keep her from sliding on the floor. It does help but she sounds like some sick little old lady wearing slippers & dragging her feet on the floor...its just too funny but so sad for my girl.

So sorry to hear your boy is sick. I always try to give some special attention the ones left at home. They know when somethings wrong. Hope everything is ok.

Hi everyone. Were hanging in there. Still don't like the meds they make her dopy. Spoke to the vet again on saturday about it & he said better to have her dopy than have more siesures. ABSOLUTLEY. Too early to do any testing to reduce the meds. Shes playing, appitiete is incredible. So far so good!
Thanks for asking.

Hi everone. Just finally getting a chance to sit in front of the computer. My heads still spinning. No seizures since 3pm, November 29th. I guess there were a total of 6. Shes on phenobarb & potassium brom. We are taking 1 day at a time right now. Everyone has been so supportive. I cant say thank you enough. I am totally wiped out right now. So far so good. Now all we need here is a good nights sleep!
Thanks for being here!!

Thanks everyone for being here again for me. Kiya was fine acting 100% herself. We went to bed at 10:30, 11:30 she had a seizure, again at 4am, 8:30am while we were on the way to the vets office. In the office she appeared to have another fit while standing she began to shake & foam at the mouth. I left her there Dr. Timpone wanted to get her on iv phenobarb & he said something about cathateter (spelling). I should be able to bring her home later today. This will be a learning experience on how to care for Kiya.
I am so greatfull for everyones information & support. Im tring to collect myself, 1 hour of sleep is really not good. I will be posting about this on the Shiloh yahoo group. As far as I know I have never heard anyone mention epilepsy there.

Thanks everyone, its so good to be able to share experiences & information. What scares me is both of us work so if it happens again..well I'll hope it doesnt happen. I thought about getting a "nanny cam" so I can spy in on them while Im at work. I have faith in the breeders of both parents, info on health is crutial & a big issue with them. For now I'll just sit back, wait & pray.
