So my wonderful husband has been away this week and before leaving I thought of the things I feared most happening while he was away:
someone breaking into the house
the dog getting fleas
the dog puking
Apparently I should have added THE DOG HAVING AN EPILEPTIC SEIZURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!
The dog got fleas on Monday and I quickly rectified that situation and only cried a little bit (I hate bugs.)
Last night while I was cozy and in a nice slumber with my dog she darted off the bed nailed the bureau and began scurrying around the house like a maniac. I originally assumed she must have heard something, and she fell so hard that I also thought she must have broken a leg. She was just scurrying around and convulsing and running into walls. I got her onto the rug and tried to get her to respond. She was pretty much out of it and would not respond to much (even her favorite squeaky toy). She finally started shaking and then started to throw up, but that was the least of my worries. Eventually she got up and I quickly realized her legs were fine. I of course called Bri at about 4:30 his time panicking and crying, so he talked me down. I was going to take her to the emergency room but once she came around I figured I would see how she did through the night.
I assumed she fell so hard and hit her head causing the convulsions. While I see seizures on a regular basis at school I had a feeling it was one, but thought it must have been brought on by the fall. I kept the dog up all night (as if I could sleep anyway!!!) and woke her up about every half hour to make sure she was okay. We went to the vet this afternoon and the Dr was pretty certain by my description that it was an epileptic seizure and that is probably why she fell out of the bed in the first place. He said its pretty difficult for a dog to get a concussion or anything like that.
Basically now we have to wait to see if it happens again to make a proper diagnosis. In the meantime I just had to sitck some tupperware under her while she squatted to get a pee sample.
I swear I should never have kids because I am not sure how I would endure watching a little one in a situation that I could not control. oye!!
OH I ALMOST FORGOT. Last night in my panicked stupor I took the dog out and she pooped. Its about 2am and i reach to pick it up with the doggy bag and didnt realize it was ripped and got poop all over my hands. Boy was I grossed out. WHAT A WEEK
The vets are running some tests to rule out any other issues and once those are ruled out we can see about getting to a neurologist to get some proper meds for her so that she does not have to go through that again. The poor thing was so scared (and so was I!!).
