PB Level and Garbage AGAIN!!!

The vet called this afternoon and Topaz's PB level is normal, which is good.

And my husband and I went to get cat food and also to pick up dinner and we were maybe gone an hour. We come home to nasty, stinky trash from one end of the house to the other!!! GRRRR

The new locking garbage can wasn't locked. Ugh....we're a bunch of dumb asses.

Anyways...so he got into the trash again. Lovely.

PB Level Check Today...and more Garbage! Ugh!!

We took Puppa to the vet to get his PB levels checked. They also are doing some other routine labwork. The vet tech dude asked us about vaccinations. I really need to call the other vets we used and see if he actually got vaccs somewhere else. Now that I think about it, I think he has.

He also got into the trash in the computer room and also ate the cat food...little shit that he is!!! Ugh, he's BAD!!!

Anyways...still no seizures! Woo hoo!

Garbage Hound

We went to dinner last night and then went to a couple of stores and came home to the garbage can on its side and garbage strewn from the front door to the back door and everywhere in between. What a lovely mess!

Anyways...that's the 3rd time this month Topaz has gotten into the garbage.

And he threw up again yesterday morning.

But...no seizure activity...which is lovely.

Throwing Up

No new seizure activity...thank God!!

Topaz threw up yellow bile (I believe it's bile anyways) a couple times on Monday night and then he did again this morning.

We're gonna keep an eye on him for now...if it continues, he'll be going to the vet.

4/28 - Vet Call

I called the vet when I got to work and she said that since this one was "different" and that it didn't seem as violent as the others and since he had gone such a long time seizure free, we will leave his meds where they are for now...which is good because he's totally a different dog with the 1/4 pill decrease. It's amazing.

So..we'll keep an eye on him and go on with life as usual!

4/28/08 - Grand Mal

Topaz had a seizure this morning at 6:08am. It wasn't as bad as the last ones have been and so far no clusters. He had it in our bedroom at the foot of our bed. I heard him kind of get up and then felt and heard a hard thud and went to see what was going on.

And there he was seizing half under the bed and wedged between the bed and dresser in this little area.

He made little noise, and wet himself and foamed as usual, but overall it wasn't as bad as they have been. I'm hoping he won't cluster. The last couple have been very loud and pretty violent.

This one was different too, I couldn't get to him flat, so I kind of picked him up and held him while he came around, which seemed to comfort him...no growling this time around. We also gave him rescue remedy when it was over...gotta keep that in our room to be able to give it right away. Maybe I'll order another bottle of it.

I also should add that he got in the garbage can on Saturday and garbage was all over the house. He licked out cat food cans and ate whatever was on the garbage he pulled out. We've also been giving him peanut butter bones and those new hip-flex treats. And the supplement...no changes other than those.

Plus, it's that time of year and we have wonky weather...maybe the barametric pressure is messing with him.

I'll call the vet when they open to see what they want to do about his meds, we lowered his PB a couple weeks ago and he's been doing so well. Maybe we'll continue and see if this was an isolated incident or something, not sure yet. Will update later.

Anyways...he went almost 83 days with no seizure. 4 hours shy of 84 days. That's awesome. I'll reset his ticker.

For Later If Needed

...but hopefully it won't be...

Neighbor closer to mile road fertilized his back yard (and possibly front) yard this afternoon.

Brought the dogs in when I realized what he was doing, but they were outside for a little while.

sigh...

Hopefully this won't effect the puppa.
