kamsmom Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Steak and I were cuddling this morning on the couch as we often did. He had a seizure at 8am. Today would have marked 7 weeks seizure free. In 45 minutes time he had 8 more seizures and in the 5 minute drive to the vet he had 3 more . When we arrived his temp was 107 and they immediatley started to cool him down, started a valium IV and administered valium rectally. He had gone through an entire bottle of valium and was still seizing on top of it. My heart is broken into a million pieces right now. I was able to hold him and pet him until he was gone and then the vet let us stay together for a while longer. He has the softest fur ever. He was such a handsome boy and I told him all the time. I love you buddy. This sucks. Quote ~Beth, with a crazy mixed crew of misfits.~ Forever and Always missing and loving Steak, Carmen, Ivy, Isis, and Madi.Don't cry because it's ended, Smile because it happened.Before you judge me, try to keep an open mind, not everyone likes your taste.

TheFullHouse Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 When I saw Aimee's post on FB my heart sank into my stomach and I started to cry. I'm so sorry Beth. I never met Steak in person but felt I knew him a little through our conversations. I'm so very, very sorry. I truly hoped this last round of medication was the key to controlling his seizures. I am so happy that for the last 7 weeks you had your happy go lucky boy back. What a gift that was to you. My heart goes out to you. Godspeed Steak. No more seizures buddy. Run with the wind.
