Tonight I'm sat in the back yard with Lola, a paddling pool and a tears streaming down my face. I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing her look so scared and vulnerable. She went with such force she has pushed my dining table and 2 chairs across the room and even with the diazepam it felt like she took a lifetime to 'wake up'. I don't think she was breathing properly through the seizure either, like she couldn't catch her breath. It was terrifying. It sounds strange but I think my little boy (11 months) can sense it about to happen. They are thick as thieves and follow each other everywhere and the last 3 seizures he screams just before she rears up. 2 maybe 3 seconds before and tonight he woke up crying then I heard her hit the floor in the kitchen. I can't wait to get her blood work done so we can find if there is anything else
Sending kind thoughts and best wishes. I'm so sorry it must be very frightening for you all. I hope you can get some more help soon.
She's flat out asleep on my lap at the moment after the diazepam. I just wish I could take it all away for her. She is still a baby in my eyes and it genuinely hurts my heart to see her like that...
How awful for you, and for Lola. I hope the vets can find a treatment to manage the seizures, it must be so hard for you. Sending good vibes to both of you.
I feel so lucky she came to us. Not only because she brings so much love to our little family but she was supposed to go to a different family. They decided they didn't want her and my eldest fell in love with her as soon as he saw her. I hate to think what her situation may have been had she gone to a different family
Thank you everyone for your replies. She's back to spying on people passing by through the letterbox with the baby. It is their favourite game, especially when they people jump! I always knew her epilepsy would be for life but I hoped her medication would keep the seizures under control like before. Maybe it is time for new medication?
So sorry to read of Lola's distressing seizures, I really hope you can get some help to sort it, but... this has made my morning already, I will leave for work with a smile on my face
I understand exactly how you feel. I was exactly the same with our old boy BJ . I really hope they get the right level of meds for Lola, its not always easy but works wonders in most cases when the level is just right. We got there in the end with BJ and in his last 4 or so years he had very few seizures, and just 1 in his final 2 years. Sending you our best wishes and all the luck in the world x
What a terribly hard thing to experience. I can imagine how much you must wish you could make it all better. Good thing she's in the right hands though. She couldn't be in a better place.
