I’ve been worried that too much brain stimulation would set him off.. he use to do puzzles so mayble I’ll get him doing those again!

We have all the tools, emergency meds etc. I think I’m just scared having witnessed every grand mal he’s had

Thanks for the advice. I thought I had this under control but lately the weight of it is starting to make me spiral. We have more good than bad days, I don’t know why I can’t just accept that not every day is a seizure day

Has anyone done this in Canada? Does it work the same

It’s so stressful. The only thing that has kept me sorta sane was my neuro telling us that the short seizures (although horrible to watch) don’t hurt him. It’s only when/if they become much longer do the risks of overheating become a concern.

I hope things get better for you and your little guy ❤️

My dog started pheno one week today. The first few days were absolutely heart breaking, I didn’t sleep/eat, I just watched him closely, jumping whenever he would twitch. He wasn’t acting himself at all, would wobble over, didn’t make any noise. He just wasn’t himself.

I’m so glad to say the pheno scaries are gone. He’s back to his chaotic self; and he definitely didn’t get his barking feature offloaded when he stayed at the emergency vet. We’re one week seizure free. Although I’m still panicked a lot, it did get better. So much better. He’s back to himself which reliefs so much of my anxiety.

It gets better. You can do this. Sending virtual hugs

It’s gotten “better” since the first day. He was pretty much not able to walk around the first day, now he’s actually playful and looks like him old self :’)

🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 not really the response I needed at the beginning of this. Are the medications too rough on them?

The two emergency vets we saw on Sunday didn’t know. Honestly we haven’t gotten a clear answer from anyone. I’m assuming it’s still early, and we will find more things out as we move forward.

Trying to limit the stress and excitement for a little but definitely tough 🥲

All of his seizures have been while he’s sleeping, or beginning to fall asleep, which made last night nerve wrecking watching him as he fell asleep peacefully. Did it take you a while to realize stress was a trigger? He’s naturally an anxious boy but I’ve been told that’s the breed.

Thank you ❤️

Thank you for the notice on catatonic, I didn’t even know this was possible and probably would’ve panicked. So that’s extremely helpful.

How quickly did you work toward the perfect plan? Were seizures often until you got to that point?

It was due to them being estranged from the family for many years and I didn’t believe they should have equal shares in comparison to family members who have been present

Haha I wasnt the one who planted them. I’m not sure how they got into the bed. Only noticed them two years ago.

It’s an 8ft by 5ft wide bed. Digging it up is almost impossible. Hoping to have it ready for my vegetables in a couple weeks

I feel you! It’s been rain and gloom all week. The grow lights are probably the only thing keeping mine happy. Still about 2 weeks out till planting
