Help Needed! Punkin just had a seizure :(

[2BullyMama]

Hey Jamie.... how is your Punkin today?

 

[Lokismom]

I am so sad to read this. I would call the vet and let them know that you believe that he may have had a seizure. Our vet advised that there isn't much that they can do at first unless it is 3 in a week or 4 in a month unless it is constant like Loki's big one was. Loki is not able to settle down right away after a seizure if it was bad enough. I hope it was just once and you don't have to deal with that ever again!

I can attest to the fact that swiffer wet jet kills dogs. It killed my first yellow lab. I only use white vinegar and murphys oil to clean the floors now.

After reading a lot of the stories on here I always worried about what I used on the floor to clean it so we got a steamer mop and I don't have to worry about the chemicals that could hurt my baby. [MENTION=1209]savemejeebus[/MENTION] I hope this was a one time only episode so scary!! I think you and the bf handled it well though! I have no experience with seizures I'm sorry all I can do is send positive thoughts and prayers a muzzies for Punkin and a hug for you!

Oh he's acting like nothing happened and sleeping the day away like he always does. The bf decided to take a vac day to watch him.

Thanks again everyone for sending positive thoughts. Hopefully it is just an isolated incident. My bf and I are going to be extra vigilant in cleaning where he eats. We finally got the steam mop back from my sis, and we're planning to use that everyday again. Punks loves eating any crumbs off the floor too, so we'll also try to sweep even more often. He's a little vacuum cleaner, that one.

And no more swiffer wet mop!

We're going to see the vet on the weekend as I've read that seizures may mean that his blood levels are off. We had one done a couple of months ago, but we'll do another one in case something did change.

I'm so sorry that happened, I'm praying it was a one time thing.

More than likely, anything put on grass that is near pet and/or children will be non-toxic. On the other hand...there is debate out there about cleaners such as the swiffer wet jet. One of the ingredients in it is propylene glycol. Two of the most common ingredients in antifreeze are propylene glycol and Ethylene glycol. Ethylene is far more lethal than propylene....but you get my point.

The swiffer wet jet also made my parent's golden retriever very sick. He used to throw up and be lethargic after my mom would swiffer the kitchen, and it took awhile before they made the connection that he always got sick after cleaning the kitchen. She only uses regular gentle soap and water now instead of the swiffer cleaner and he's been fine ever since.

I hope your poor Punkin feels better

Glad to read that he is doing better!

Sorry I'm late reading this... I have no experience w/seizures personally, just wanted to offer my prayers & support!!!

I'm glad he is feeling better. I will pray this is a one time occurrance.

So sorry you all had to go through this scary thing, I do hope it is just a one off.

I did not know that those floor cleaners could harm them either but I am glad I only use a steam mop and white vinegar.

Just reading this, YIKES~!!! That had to have been very scary!! Im glad he is acting back to normal again. Finger's crossed this was just a freak incident.
