So our little guy had a seizure last night about 9:30 PM. We didn't get home until 2:30AM and he stayed overnight for observation. My daughter was wrecked and nearly inconsolable. He is doing well as of 2 PM CT today and will be able to come home after 5. It was an idiopathic seizure as all labs and images came back negative.

Glad all is well, sir.

It is scary. Our dog who passed away last year at 15 had his first seizure when he was 3. Hope he does as well.

Sorry to hear that it happened, but glad to hear that he is doing well. My daughter is pretty much the same way.

These little guys sneak into your lives so quickly, and it's hard as they are family.

If I may ask, how old is he?

kscarrol · 12-01-2019, 10:43 PM

An Tilly has made it home! After plenty play it's time for some rest...

Our four Samoyeds, who have taken over our lives and why we wish BMW would make a minivan. It all started with the smiling face on the right.

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about you little buddy. I dread the eventuality.

Thank you. They really do. When he was brought home, my now ex-wife and our daughter didn't know what to do with him so I took care of him as a puppy and he bonded with me. We are very close but we share custody of him like we are two people in some whacky Hollywood divorce. How did I get here?!?!

Back on topic and update:

We picked him up at 5 the next day and he was a little tired but doing well. It turned out that the Ex picked up treats from Dollar General that were made in China (which we've all seen the stories about) and he was basically poisoned by that garbage. When I received and reviewed the bill, he was given all precautions and treatment protocols for poisoning. I wasn't happy at all but I didn't lose my cool with the Ex. I only reminded her that since he has always had a delicate digestive system, he should only be given treats approved by the vet.

He's been home for 2 days now and is behaving like a puppy again!! That's the most important thing.

Thanks for all of the kind words and commiserations, guys I truly appreciate them all.

Cheers-MK

When we picked up our Mini-Schnauzer...that was the first thing our vet told us. Apparently that breed has a very delicate system as well. So vet approved food and treats only. And table scraps could lead to Pancreatic issues.

It's hard to explain this stuff to people who don't know any better!

She refuses to go potty.

We're cat people, so here are some of our past and present feline friends.

Ugh, just saw the original post on this, and was so glad to read this more recent post and that he was back to fighting form. Something to be thankful for, for sure.

I'm glad you and your family have been compliant. This was completely avoidable.
