    No More Seizures For Ez

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    I have to keep telling myself

    You don't need 4 bowls you only need 3

    You don't need 4 Milk Bones you only need 3

    You don't have to medicate at 7 am, 8 am, 4 pm & 7 pm

    You do not have to stand outside and wait for EZ to plop so you can make sure his SIBO is not acting up

    You do not have to put the gate up anymore to keep the other pups away from EZ at night in case he has a seizure

     

    It is so hard to change the routine that I was so used to and now the other pups are so used to staying downstairs at night they do not come up when I go to bed..........

    I wish to thank my Greyhound Family for all their kind thoughts and shoulders to lean on. I especially have to thank Jan for posting EZ's carrot videos. So many of you have sent e-mails that are too numerous for me to answer individually - tears are still blurring my vision.

     

    Again Thank you for caring

    Jan is one of my RBG buddies and she is such an angel for posting the videos of EZ screaming for his carrots and carrying it around like a cigar - he was quite a character. One other thing he used to do when i was on the phone he would yammer

    I wish I knew how to down load those short videos to show you how he was with his carrots and he wanted the huge ones that I used to buy for him at GFS the ones used in restaurants. He would walk over to a bed holding it straight out like a cigar

     

     

    This is what ss556 sent me:

     

    copy the last one "IMG code" and place it on the GT page. It shows up when placing there as letters only, but when I post, then it comes up w/ the video which you have to click on to see it. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say here!

    I did manage to post one on FaceBook will have to get my wits about me to figure it out here

    I don't know the carrot story but I sure hope EZ is muching on some right now. I'm so sorry.

    EZ loved his carrots and used to scream for them I had a short video of him doing that plus he used to carry them like a cigar

     

    I'm sure my SW PA girl Lucky met him at the Bridge to tell him where all the best carrot spots and people were. She could eat an entire bag of baby carrots by herself if we let her. At the end, we said that her eyes and ears might not have worked anymore, but her nose sure did. She could smell it from two rooms away when we took carrots out of the fridge.

    I had to let EZ go this morning - he starting having seizures at Midnight and even medicated clustered, each time when he came out of the seizure he was not himself, had a problem getting him into the car and was crying when I tried to hoist him up. finally got him in the passenger side. ER Vet also noticed that he was not functional and very confused. He told a Animal Communicator he was a broken dog and the vet said maybe he was telling her he had enough.

     

    Run free EZ and I know your Aunt Softee was there to greet you

    I need the sleep not Mr. EZ as he is back to normal - it would not of been so bad if I did not have to go to work. I could of called off but had a meeting so had to go in all bleary eyed - now I am off till Tuesday - one of the advantages of only working 7 hrs/week. I am a casual employee and at my age don't need any more time out of the house that way will have more time to make gh coats and be able to donate some to worthy causes

    Wednesday Morning at 3 am EZ had another seizure - this one only lasted about 45 seconds but the post time was much longer than usual - after a seizure he has to go outside to relieve himself (BM & Pee) even tho he peeded quite a bit during the seizure - this goes on 2 to 3 times - in and out. Gave him a dose of phenobarbital and 1 cup of his special dry food (Low residue) which he ate....He almost took me down the steps when I was taking him downstairs and then he was very confused, staggering for close to an hour afterwards. The staggering was very unusual for him as he usually comes out of it quickly. Called the neuro vet office but of course he was off on Wednesday but left a message for documentation

     

    As of Wednesday afternoon seemed to be back to normal but then Mom was another story - I am still trying to catch up on my sleep

    How Much Do You Feed & Do Yo Wet It?

    in Food and dietary discussion

    Posted

    My boys I feed 2 cups per feeding 2 x day with about 1 T canned food and about 1 oz of water mixed in - they both weigh around 100 lbs

    Hershey gets about 1 1/4 cup 2 x day with the same amount of water and canned food

     

    Vet happy with their weight

     

    I use Kirkland Kibble but with EZ as he has SIBO I used 1 cup low residue dog food along with 1 cup Kibble and he did lose about 4 lbs which is good for him - he is also a seizure pup and just had another one Wednesday morning

    Dog on Loan

     

    I will lend you for a little while my grandest dog He said.

    For you to love while she is alive and morn for her when she is dead.

     

    It may be one or twenty years, or days or months, you see, but will you take care of her for me?

    She will bring her charms to gladden you and should her stay be brief, you'll have treasured memories as solace for your grief.

     

    I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught on earth I want this dog to learn.

    I have looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes with trust, I have chosen you.

     

    Now will you give her your total love? Nor think the labor vain, nor hate Me when I come to take her back again?

     

    I know you will give her tenderness, and love will bloom each day, and for the happiness you have, forever grateful stay.

    But should I come and call for her much sooner than you'd planned, you will brave the bitter grief that comes, and someday you will understand.

    Oh Jan I grieve with you and have tears writing this - I wish I was nearer to you to give you me shoulder to lean or cry on, my hand to hold or to give you a hug.........All I can do is say I am so sorry and I know the feeling of a loss of a beloved friend.........

     

    Hugs to you Jan to help you through this

     

    Run Free Sweet Boy and may the wind be always at your back

     

    Your Spirit lives on in the hearts of all who loved and knew you
