almost an hour ago poor berties had a full blown seizure
he was fine even charging around after stealing a ready salted crisp packet and getting narked because it was empty and i chased him and got it back.
He was mooching around getting nose rubs etc.
So i put up his meds ready to give to him and our cat salem was begging for his as he was in pain too. came back into the lounge..nikki was patting him playing with his tail how he loves to play. suddenly he went down on his legs and began shaking and twitching..it was similar to what willow did when she was dying then he turned round or tried to and he was facing me.
suddenly he rolled and i rushed forward thinking he was dying like willow did and something made me gently hold his head so it didnt hit the floor and i relaised with horror that he was having a full blown seizure
hes been recovering since it happened and hes just got up and eaten some food then get up and have a drink. Then just then i stopped typing because he was begging for a nose rub..hed already gone for me before he got up.
hes eaten two carrot treats and laid down to wash his paws and hes laying down next to his food bowl.
i rang the emsworth vet and she said to leave him in a dark quiet room with a soft blanket to keep him warm. she said if i bring him out the risk of him dying of a heart attack because of the stress is very common after a seizure!she said she could come out but it would be £350..ok ive not got it but id pay it if itd help. but she said theres not much she could do now except give him his metacam anyway.
the other vets dont do home visits emergency as only one vet one nurse to cover...emsworth vet only has the vet who does have to leave the animals in between calls.
both said to try to give him his metacam and hes just taken it..he was so good and then ran after me waiting for his carrot stick!!
he approached nikki for a nose rub too.
hes crashd again by his food bowl..i am making sure hes not mouth breathing and not fitting again....its dark in the lounge and i am sleeping downstairs on the bed settee anyway.
gona be a long night and vets have told me if he getsw worse ring em up and go there....if he is ok overnite then ring them say 9am.
i am leaving him alone but he came up for a nose rub.......i couldnt ignore him
he was due to be panacured but the emsworth vet said not to panacur him till we got his feet better and he was finding it easier to breathe.
omg e cuniculi.......or could be abscesses from pasturella.....or as one vet said..even an infection.
i will post updates...
could anyone else with experience help me help him.?
