Guest Energy11 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I won't use Ace on my greys. Tried it ONCE on Goldie ... no way! I prefer Valium, and it works nicely and easily for them, ... really helps Cari with her storm phobias, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sharon, Keep an eye on Maggie with your other dogs. If she starts to have another seizure, get your other dogs away--out of the room, someplace where they can't reach her. It might be well if they can't even see her. Other GT'ers have posted about how their healthy dogs reacted to a dog having a seizure. Your gang might have been okay this time, but another time there could be trouble that you don't need.

Guest PhillyPups Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Checking in on Maggie and want you to know my prayers are with you. Your Andy is like my Zeus - almost 10 and not any less fearful of storms, fireworks, gunshots - I had a bad experience with Ace and SugarBear - will not let anyone give it to my hounds, but it seems to work for Andy and that is what is important for you. to both of you and all your hounds.

SAVED2 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Maggie did fine all night. I slept on the couch last night to keep an eye on her and all was fine all night. this morning she went out to poop but still no pee! she was always the one to hold it for 12 hrs. so we will see what happens around 11 am. she ate all her dinner last night like she was starving. but this morning she barely ate at all, so that concerns me. She is laying on her pillow and watching me as I type. I was thinking about giving her another 1/2 of a vallium about 10am so we could go to church ( very important to us) other wise I will just stay home with her and watch her. she is acting normal this morning, just not eating or peeing... Should I be worrying ?????? we are keeping a close eye on her! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) The Valium couldn't hurt. I give 1/2 to Curfew every night, as he gets restless at night. It is like "Sundowner's Syndrome" in humans. I am a strong advocate of Valium with seizure dogs. I am glad church is important to you, as you faith will most likely help Maggie :-)) Love and hugs! Dee and The Five p.s. If you decide to go to church, I'd baby gate Maggie from the rest, JUST in case she has another seizure ... Follow your gut on whether to go or not ... best advice I can give.

Guest goodtimekid Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I think if it were me I would stay home. Just to be sure she's ok. That way you can monitor her a little longer to be sure. Prayers being sent to you and your baby girl.... Hugs to you both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Is she taking in enough fluids? As for the Valium, I don't think I would.

Guest Winterwish Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I hope Maggie has a good day today and is doing much better. It could be she didn't eat breakfast since she had a nice size meal last nite. Hopefully she's drank some water at this point. You could always add milk to her water to make it a bit enticing. Sending good wishes Maggie's way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Is she taking in enough fluids? As for the Valium, I don't think I would. Fluids are a great thing :-)) If she isn't drinking, they can even use a turkey baster or 10 cc syringe to help her. It will be good when they can finally get her diagnosed.

Batmom Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I wouldn't give the valium unless she needs it. If you need to go out, best separate her from the other critters in case she does have another incident. If you think she may not be drinking enough, can try mixing water with a tablespoon of honey or molasses, or mix water 50-50 with milk, apple juice, meat broth, campbell's chicken soup, etc. I put it in a people bowl and hold it for doggie, which makes it seem more like a treat instead of "I'm not thirsty right now."

SAVED2 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 we did go to church and I did give her 1/2 vallium. When ever we leave the house I HAVE to crate Frannie And Sunny. Frannie is a "land shark" and will get into anything that is not nailed down, and I don't trust Sunny loose with Andy... so that only leaves Maggie and Andy loose. Andy is Very protective over Maggie and would never hurt her. and yesterday when all this was going on, Frannie came and put her head on Maggie's feet Just to let her know that she was near. Frannie too is a very caring grey. When I am sick, she will come and lay on top of me if she can... to take care of me! Well Maggie met us at the door when we got home and was very excited to see us. Right now she is up on the couch sleeping next to Dan. as for water, she is drinking a lot, but that is normal for her so no problem there either. just the eating today, but I'm sure she will eat all her dinner at 4:30. I will offer her a snack in a little while. So far, so good with Maggie today! Praise the Lord for that and a BIG thank you for all your prayers for her and us.! sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hey Sharon! I am GLAD everything worked out, and Maggie is doing well. I am sure you are anxious to get to the bottom of this, so you guys and Maggie, can relax easily. Hugs and prayers here.

TheFullHouse Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm glad to see that Maggie is doing better today. I've had her on my mind most of the night.

SAVED2 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Maggie is still doing fine! and she ate ALL her dinner! and then filled up on water ( that is normal for her)! She is asking to go out to potty so that is a good sign too! Will update tomorrow after the vet visit! Thanks again for all your prayers and good wishes for our special Maggie. This is the Very FIRST time she has EVER been sick since the day we got her 7 years ago.! She had Never had the big "D". and never even threw up before yesterday either! AND never been hurt either, not even a small scrape! She has always been a real joy to have! Her only problem is the kidney failure and she has been doing great on her meds.

CaliforniaGreys Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I too am glad Maggie had a good night and a good day today. I'm just curious about the kidney issues, is it kidney failure or kidney disease?
