How is Jo this morning?

Jo is doing OK now
She is a bit subdued, but she is eating and pooing so I am hoping we can keep her guts going. It is usually the post seizure stasis that is more of a problem than the seizure itself.

Thank you for all the vibes and good wishes for her

Hope she continues to improve x

Sorry, missed this.

Jo has the diazepam to prevent further seizures as opposed to bringing her out of one. The actual seizure is short lived, 10-15 seconds tops. But she can go on to have several in a few hours without the diazepam.

I have used rectal diazepam in one seizure prone Bun, 'Billie'. He developed them at puberty and he had about 3-4 a day almost EVERY day.

But despite that he was such a happy Bunny and he lived for almost 7 years !!

Wow, poor Jo. I hope she keeps eating!
