Hi all
My name is Shauna and I have an almost 1 year old Bully named Boo Boo, or just Boo for short. I'm coming on to the forum to get help from those who have similar issues so i'll be reading up over the next while and busy searching for info. Basically we've had a really rough week. Boo started out with a facial infection in her wrinkles which escalated into her having focal facial seizures. We didn't know what was happening and scared of course for her. She's been in hospital most of the week, poked, prodded and scanned and it was determined that she is indeed epileptic but a 'mild' form. (which is somewhat good news i hope?) She came home yesterday, been on Keppra for a couple days now and doing much much better than she was! She is very antsy though where she keeps wandering all around the house, anxious, panting at times and just doesn't want to chill out, so i have yet to find if that is due to the drug or the epilepsy. She's sleeping, snoring, farting away right now which is great. I realize too, that she only started the meds so it does need adequate time to settle in so she can get used to it. I wish i knew how she was feeling or if the stuff is buggin her out. We are to keep a diary of her for the next 2 weeks and then meet with the specialist again where i think they mentioned switching her over to the other 2 common meds. If she's doing ok though on this drug, why switch her? im so nervous when meds are given or changed. just dont want our furkids to hurt or be doped up, you know...
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and will be reading up. Any input or advice is welcomed FOR SURE!
