Yesterday Jackie had 5 fits in the middle of the night and I had to take her to the emergency vets office at 6am because I didn't have any diazepam left for her. They kept her for observation until 12.
Again about 9 o'clock last night she had a small seizure which was over pretty much before it started, but they have been coming every couple of hours since then, four in total now.
The vet told me yesterday that I would have to start her on her medications again, I didn't give her the pills before because she rarely had attacks (I have been fostering her 6 months and shes only had 2 attacks), and I know they are hard on her liver. She is now taking half a Luminol pill in the morning and another half in the evening.
I am just at a loss what brought on the attacks again, I haven't slept all night and I just don't know what to do. The vets just keep telling me to wait and the medications will kick in, but I am not sure how many more attacks we can take. Poor Jackie is just in a stupor and the other dogs are really agitated.
Has anyone here had an epileptic dog before? I have been researching what triggers the fits, but I can't find anything in common with whats happening to Jackie. If you can just keep Jackie in your thoughts I would really appreciate it.
