So yesterday Harvey started having head tremors.. he did it about 6x yesterday evening and just again this morning.
I am taking him in for a work up in 2 hours but man am i freaked out.
I have seen many posts of EB's experiencing this and i know there isn't always anything you can do.. I have always said, i am SO thankful my babies don't have this because it's so scary to watch and know you can't do anything about it. Now i am in that position..
When he first did it i immediately gave him a spoonful of honey.. then a little peanut butter, then a little yogurt..
I also put a drop of frankinsense on the inside of his ears. I try to distract him to bring him out of it but it is so hard to watch him have these.
He has always been very healthy & this is scaring me. I am wracking my brain trying to figure out what could have brought this on.. and i can think of 2 possibilities.
1. We did have the outside of our house sprayed the other day for bugs.. (it is supposed to be pet safe, unless they were to lop up gallons of it). It dries very quick and they weren't outside till it was dry. However lots of stuff is falling from the trees right now and Harvey likes to eat whatever bits or leaves or buds are on the ground. Could some of that spray gotten on some of that and he ate it??
2. A month ago i started home cooking some food for the kids and have gradually worked it into their diet. They are now 1/2 kibble and 1/2 home cooked at each meal. (I want to go raw but not ready yet, mentally or financially)
The ingredients are all cooked:
2lbs organic ground beef (boiled to death)
1 bag carrots & peas
1/8 acorn squash or small sweet potato
sometimes a little celery
red organic kidney beans
pure pumpkin
1/2-1 cup brown rice
They eat Fromm kibble. Harvey gets lamb and Stella gets Beef. So right now they have been 1/2 kibble half home cooked. with minced frozen green beans on top. plus 2 days a week a sardine on top too.
They have been loving this food and seem very happy. Stools have been good.. but now i am questioning, have i added something i shouldn't or missed something they need?
*Additionally, this last batch which has just been the last 2 days, the ground beef came from a local farm... previously i had been buying store bought. Is it possible there is something wrong with the meat? if so, i would think Stella might experience some kind of issues too.
I would love any thoughts or feedback...
Thanks in advance,
