Seizure.

While this blog is typically a happy go lucky kind of project, full of funny Sylvie stories and photos, I'm going to get a little serious this evening. Ready?

Sylvie had a seizure.

The good news is that she is doing well, and has no neurological damage, the bad news I suppose is that we don't know what caused it.

V has always been my healthiest dog and always full of extra energy- and if you know me at all you know that she means everything to me.

Her seizure only lasted a few minutes and started with her getting out of bed this morning and vomiting twice. I heard her puking downstairs and was about ready to get out of bed when I heard her slamming into things, like she was scared of something. She then made her way to the stairs, bashed into them (from what i can tell from the blood on the wall) and came back into my room where she knocked the light over then jumped on my bed looking for me. She was extremely scared, hyper acting, and urinating and defecating by this point. She then collapsed on the bed and started seizing. I moved her to the floor, where her hind legs stuck out and went rigid, and she started gnashing her teeth and thrashing. I kept my hands on her and talked to her while all this was happening. When she came out of it, she was again, very scared and blind acting. She also had no idea who I was.

She had a fever when I took her in to my vet this morning. She's slept most of the day, and is actually curious about the yard cats and is playing with her tugajug as I type this.

Her bloodwork came back normal, and she has been started on Doxy because it seems the seizure may of stemmed from a tick illness.

I'm beyond worry, but have finally calmed down enough to start to think semi- straight. There's a chance that she could have more seizures, so any good healing thoughts you can send her way would make her and I both feel better...
