Many good thoughts and prayers for Nurse Betty.... And you!

Thanks everyone. We started the phenobarb today so hopefully that will help. So far only one seizure that I noticed today and it was pretty mild...no loss of urine. I think those good thoughts and prayers are working.

I hope the new meds do the trick for sweet Nurse Betty. I'll keep her in my thoughts.

Roxane, here are a couple of tips that I learned from the epi-dog message boards/websites. They're things that I wish I would've known when Pugsy had seizures towards the end of her life. You may already know these, but here goes anyway:

When she's having a seizure, hold an ice pack on the middle of her back (behind the shoulder blades). It helps to stop the seizure quicker & the recovery time afterwards seems to be shorter. I've been doing this with our foster Zoe and it does seem to help slightly. There's more info. on it here: http://www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com/icepack.htm

Seizures are hard on their little bodies & cause a drop in blood sugar. I give Zoe a teaspoon or two of plain, vanilla ice cream after one to help her bounce back. Some people add Rescue Remedy to the ice cream but we haven't tried that yet.

Hope that helps Nurse Betty. If nothing else, she'll enjoy the ice cream treat! hug dog

Nurse Betty is an angel on four little paws if there ever was one. All good thoughts coming your way from Millie and me.

Soft, gentle hugs and bagsful of positive thoughts.

I've read that you shouldn't talk to a dog who is seizuring.

Roxanne and Brenda- I have found that Rescue Remedy is very helpful in Norton's situation. It really helps him stay calm afterwards and seems to get him back to normal in a shorter times as well. We have tried the ice pack and did do the ice cream as well and they seemed to work but the Rescue Remedy has been the best so far.

Good thoughts for Nurse Betty and you! hug dog
