No worries.. I have read pretty much all topics on this site in preperation for my future fur baby... But i assure you i would probably be freaking out as well.. Nothing can prepare you for the things these lil guys get into.. I hope all is well and please keep us updated.. =)
Oh my. I'm so sorry. I hope you baby is doing so much better this morning. I'm sending hugs. I know you are going crazy -- we all would be too! Sending prayers for Debo!
I'm so sorry this happened to you! I would bet that him choking triggered the seizures. My Lulu Mae had a day of seizures back in April. It started with a big one in the middle of the night, and then she had smaller ones all day until about 7 pm. After they ruled out all other physical causes and I knew she hadn't eaten anything bad, the vet was almost certain that her sleep apnea triggered it. The vet said that lack of oxygen will cause seizures, so that would probably explain the big one. Then she said it takes at least 24 hours for the brain to clam down, so expect little ones all day, and that is exactly what happened. Lulu has had palate surgery, but her sleep apnea is still bad when she is in a deep sleep. She sleeps with us, so there are many times I push her in the middle of the night when I don't hear snoring. So far, she has been seizure free since then. Hopefully, your little guy is the same way and the seizures will calm down now. Him puking up some of the gunk would hopefully be a good thing, too. Don't panic if he doesn't act like himself for few days. I was so worried that Lulu had brain damage because she seemed "zoned out" for the day or two after and not very responsive, but then her personality came back. I hope your guy feels much better soon!
What a great post LuluMommaTonya! I bet you are right! I have been thinking the worst all night.
It is good to know that he might be zoned out too. I started to worry about brain damage too. I'm such a worrywart.
That makes me feel a little better! Thank you.
The seizures are so disturbing to watch!
That must scare you to death when she stops snoring!
Emily, I'm so sorry about Debo. I know you're just worried sick but I was relieved to read that he's breathing on his own. Did the vet say anything further...will they still be keeping him at the hospital for observation? My boys also chewed up their cooling pad a couple years ago but luckily i was home before they could ingest anything. Please keep us posted thru the day!
Emily I'm so sorry about your furbaby Debo, I can't even imagine how scary it has been for you! I don't have any advice to add, just sending prayers to both of you & hopefully you will hear good news soon. Keep us posted!!!
We were told the same thing, no news is good news at this point! I was trying to read thru as quickly as I could to offer my 2 sense since we just learned that Loki is epileptic so sorry if you asked or some one did already but have they run blood panels on him to confirm that it wasn't poison? How were all of his other levels protein is a big one as well as function tests? I know when Loki had his seizure his temp was really really high from the seizures. I am glad to see that he is able to breath on his own now. It is such a scary feeling to have no control. Please keep us posted! I know what you are going through I have to say it was one of the scariest moments of my life when Loki had his seizures. Just remember when you pick him up he will probably be very drunk and very full of fluids if they did and IV on him. The first days home are really hard just because they are not themselves because of the medicine and the fluids that he was on but he will get better and it does get easier.
That's a good one lokismom. When I first brought him in they did a CBC.
I'm on my way to the ER right now to talk to the specialist. I think they want to do an MRI because the other Dr thinks it might be hydrocephalus. We will see.
