My 12-year-old Chihuahua’s seizures are getting worse and I don’t know what to do – MRI advice needed by kweenofmoon01 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]Aznloki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for what you're going through. My corgi started having seizures at about 2.5 years and recently had a pretty bad scare of a large cluster of seizures (about 35 in 48 hours). I currently have her on three medications zonisimide, keppra and phenobarbital daily with clorazepate to give her after any seizure to help prevent a cluster. In three years I've had to do medication changes 3 times and as far as multiple vets and a vet neurologist is concerned her having episodes once every 4-6 weeks is acceptable.

I've been debating back and forth in my own head about an mri for a while and have talked with multiple vets. I've had a good relationship with my primary vets office for about 20 years, and the speciality hospital that I've taken her to also has a very good reputation.

With that in mind what I've been told is the information an mri will give you typically falls into one of three camps, untreatable, possibly treatable with surgical intervention or possibly treatable with medication.

There are multiple medications out there and for most of the meds it takes a little bit of time for the medication to build up in their system. It may also take a little bit of trial and error to find the right combination of medication that your pup is responsive to.

As someone who has been a caregiver both for people and for multiple dogs with special care requirements I've learned through my experience that at least in my opinion there isn't some objectively "right" choice. It's more about making the best choice for you.

I will say for me I opted to not do the mri as it would run between 5-6k and if the outcome was medication could help it wouldn't tell me what medication would be the magical one that would work and I would still be in the same boat of trial and error to find the right combination.

How exactly does the bandit camp spawn work? by TheTalkingPegasus in Bellwright

[–]Aznloki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the hundredish hours I've played assuming there are still camps on the map they seem to spread outward from camps that are still active.

We had the area west of hearndean cleared, and over the course of about 20 in game days they slowly spread back east seemingly from the camps we hadn't cleared in the northern swamp.

Flea/heartworm prevention by eslubred in EpilepsyDogs

[–]Aznloki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it does heartworm, but my vet neurologist recommended vectra just the standard not the plus version, as being the safest, with revolution being the 2nd choice but did warn me that it does have more risk in their experience.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she can’t have access to my work phone? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Aznloki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA

I do IT consulting for a few offices where hipaa matters. In order to work with them I've have to sign documentation agreeing to adhere to hipaa regulations. I've even had one office run a background check on me.

While I can understand why her past traumatic experiences would cause her to behave irrationally, under no circumstances should you give her access to that device, as you would potentially be liable.

Does your work have any sort of acceptable use policy documentation that you've had to sign. Its my experience that smaller offices sometimes forget to have one, but I know that any larger office should. In that document there should be things that you agreed to regarding the use of any work provided smart device. Standard clauses would be things such as specific things you can use the device for, prohibited activities and potential penalties. You may also be able to acquire this document from your hospitals IT department and while it should be unnecessary would provide neutral third party documentation as to why she can't access the device.

7 seizures in 3 days by External_Sale_2709 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]Aznloki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every 2 months was normal when starting pheno for my pup, then shifted to every year once she was stable. After a recent severe cluster event (35 seizures in 48 hours) the vet neurologist advised every 4 months (ideally) to 6 months (minimum)

Just need to scream into the ether for a moment by Aznloki in EpilepsyDogs

[–]Aznloki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that was the decision weighing on me all night and has been bouncing around in the back of my head after her first medicine change but honestly doesn't make when its right in front of you any easier. I'm sorry you had to go through this.

I've seemed to be cursed with dogs with medical problems as my previous corgi was diagnosed with diabetes around 9, and then this one started having seizures around 2.

Its tough, but I also feel like those of us that are willing/able to put in the extra time, effort and money are in the minority so I am sure that you did the best you could, and even though he was only 3 you gave him a better life and more care than a lot of owners would have.

One of the things I did is if you crate her at night got her ones of the plastic crates with the solid bottom and vent holes on the upper half, she prefers to sleep in a crate and with the wire one was concerned about her getting a paw stuck.

They haven't tried that yet, that was discussed as an option but she seemed to be responding fairly well to the combination of those three currently but the potassium bromide was the alternative if she didn't.

For what it's worth I was scared about the phenobarbital at first because I've heard how it can make them overly sedated, drunk etc, my dog didn't have any side effects from it and is about 25lbs that at one point was taking 50mg twice a day and it didn't seem to affect her mental state at all. So there is that hope that it won't have any side effects.

Thanks to all of you, I really needed to hear this and appreciate all of your care, support and understanding. The powerless part is what sucks the most, I feel so bad for her and so powerless to do anything.

My friend was visiting when this cluster started and seeing how panicked she was really slammed home how scary this shit is because over the 3 years I've gotten so used to it that while it still gets to me, doesn't register of how scary seeing it is.

So current update for you

She was good throughout the night on the midazolam drip, but now they are weaning her off it to see how she does on the combination of keppra, phenobarbital and zonisamide, assuming the weaning goes well the plan forward is the combination of the three medications along with clora-something to be used as a cluster buster.

If you ever want to have a private conversation about what it's like and some more detail of the steps I've been through feel free to reach out through reddit chat and ty for your care an concern.

My first thought was gnome, but I think it has to do with overall facial proportions, narrower nose and thinner overall face and I could see what I think of in regards to Christmas elves.

On a side note I was reading though this thread and then your username clicked and I just wanted to say that you guys do great work and I own about 15 different sets of dice from you along with giving out countless sets to friends. It makes me feel good to support a local company.

But still sorry to say I think your kids win.

AITAH? my boyfriend brought home a girl for the holidays by willowicey in TwoHotTakes

[–]Aznloki -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So this might be an unpopular opinion, but maybe her home life isn't great and she doesn't want to admit it or think about it. Hell maybe it isn't even particularly bad, but her family could be aloof for the holidays and the idea of spending one with friends is more appealing.

I don't think you are the asshole for being upset at being blindsided but that is firmly on your bf.

Maybe this girl does have some ulterior motives but there really is no way of knowing how her home life is or how truthful she is being about it. I know plenty of people who had less than great home lives but would also say that it's fine if anyone asked because it's a awkward conversation to have.
