  1. Noel's first seizure was very violent. Several dogs were sleeping in the bedroom while I was one the computer when she screamed & did 2 total back flips, one into the wall & the other into the clothes chest. Her eyes were huge & for her safety I wrapped her in a large towel & carried her outside away from the high prey dogs. Speckie was with me when Lucky had seizures so she came outside & watched closely. Noel had another violent seizure so I wrapped he in the towel after I called the vet. When I got to the office she had a petite seizure. The vet quickly gave her some Nutri-cal to help bring her out. She has had 2 more sets one of which was worse than the firdt & it took a long time to come back to normal. Noel is diabetic so I have to watch her closely. It is terrible to watch but just remember to stay calm, hard to do I know, & make sure Oscar doesn't hurt himself. If you have other pets keep them away from him when this happens some go into attack mode or he may attack them. I hope the vet can help.

  2. Gald to see that your girl is fine. This why we print out Dr. Stacks pages from greythealth.com & give them to our adopters in their handbook so if their vet is up to spead on greys they can show them what a grey savy knows is correct.

  3. My Miss E is also 12-1/2 & she has dreams like this almost every evening. As Exceptional is a large girl (80 # ) all my other dogs have learned to stay away from her legs when she's asleep as the kicks hurt! At first I too thought seisures but like you said she can be woken with THAT look & it's nothing like Noel's grand Mals or my Lucky's petite mals were. Glad she's doing so much better-these old dames are so precious!!

  4. Speck is my Aussie girl who has a heart tag that says Mom to all greys as she bathes & cleans ears of all the greys in the house. I got her as a 3 month old pup when I had my Sheltie/Spitz. Lucky had seizures so when Noel started to have them Speckie knew what was happening. Sunday night I did not hear Noel have one but Speckie did & started barking to wake me up, by the time I got the greys outside that were up & went to Noel's crate I really thought she was dead, her head was twisted back in a strange position & she was releasing her bowls. I grabed a new tube of Nutri-cal & lifted this terribly limp body out of the crate & forced the entire tube of stuff down Noel. She didn't really respond except to swallow as I pushed the stuff into her so I got the jar of honey & a teaspoon & took her into the bathroom so I could let the others back in to go back to bed. I sat the holing her & she would open her eyes a little but that was all so I gave her 2 tsp of the honey & told her I loved her & that there were so manypuppy things she still hasn't done that I want her to if she would just come back to me. It took from 1:30 to 4:00 for her come around. So she spent yesterday afternoon at the vets office where they gave her glucous & kept checking her blood levels. She's home and acting puppish but not a complete landshark yet. She had gone from 24.8 to 26.3 in 2 weeks so she's growing. I keep telling Speckie she's such a good Mommie & I truly believe she understands because she's staying close to Noel & watching her.

  5. we got 2 boys returned last Sat. they both had exploding D-some straight blood some regular. I took them to the vet & she ran her trusty plastic probe in them & got nasty stuff to run tests on. They had hooks. She had me double dose both of them with their heartworm pills=we use Iverheart Max ( generic Interceptor) and it now works for hooks, round, & tapes. Both seem fine now. One is very clingy but the other is just a laid back boy.
