Gone Fission wrote:Early morning emergency vet visit. We woke up to our teen-aged hound girl thrashing pretty dramatically with a seizure. Emergency vet was saying that bringing her in might not be warranted when we called ahead. Our boy who passed this winter had seizures on the leading edge of everything going south, so nope, we were bringing her in anyway, thanks.
Blood work's okay, and she's on anti-convulsants now. Probability is that it was either a little stroke or it's a brain tumor. We can do an MRI and find out if it's the later and if it's operable. But an MRI itself requires anesthesia, and she had a very rough time out of anesthesia just for a dental cleaning not too many months ago. So we could put her through a mini ordeal to see if we can put her through a greater ordeal, and if she comes out of that greater ordeal without major complications, her recovery could still really suck. There's a twinge of feeling of "are we writing her off?" but we really don't want anything but to maximize her comfort for however much time she has. She would be something like in her 90s in human years, so although she's been mostly healthy for her age, she hasn't been in prime health for a while. I just hope this is a one-off and/or the anti-convulsants manage it so she can just pass sleeping peacefully in a sunny spot in the yard before anything can creep up and make her suffer.
Oh, bonus. After the emergency, I dropped off the mrs. for an overnight trip, so I'm on solo duty to watch that we don't have another seizure. Like happened to the boy when the spiral set in. She seems much better after it than he did, but there's an element of this that is really unnerving.
