bad news about Zoey
« on: April 23, 2007, 07:28:48 pm »
We have had a tough weekend with Zoey and had to take her to the emergency room today on our vet's advice. We are still not sure what is going on, but it looks like she has something wrong with her neurological system  :-[

For a while now she has been chattering her teeth and we thought it was just anxiety or nervousness, but now the doctor tells us that she has been having something called facial focal seizures. We are meeting with the neurologist on thursday to see what's next. Cross your fingers and paws for us  :-\
RIP former BPO

All my fingers crossed, and paws too, poor Zoey, i'm sorry. But hopefully veterinary technology has come SO far they will be able to give you some peace of mind. There are all sorts of meds and options out there.

I'm so sorry to hear about Zoey! Our vet's two Saints both have seizures and but they were genetically predisposed.  Make sure they check for tick disease esp antiplasma as that's what set off Tyler's seizures.  Good luck at the vets. I'll be keeping Zoey in my thoughts.

I know from experience how difficult and scary this is.  Know that you are not alone.

The best thing you can do for Zoey is to educate yourself.  Here is a link to the K9 Epi Resource website.  You will find a wealth of information and support.

If you need to chat or have any questions drop me a email TheBrindlePack at verizon.net.
