My dog had a seizure at 2am last night. This is the first time we ever saw this happen. Needless to say it was an extremely terrifying experience. I'm not too educated about seizures so I had no idea how to react. I felt so powerless seeing my dog going through that. I really thought I was going to lose her... My boyfriend and I panicked and found an open vet across town. The drive there was agonizing it was so far away and so many red lights, and she kept whimpering the whole ride there. The vet told us she went blind. That's when we realized that's what must of caused her blindness the first time. Our vet didn't even consider a seizure as an option.. Luckily this time around, instead of spending 2+ weeks completely blind she recovered her sight again within an hour. It's really unsettling knowing she had a seizure that affected her brain that badly for that long while we weren't around... But at least now we know why...
The vet gave us medication for her to take 3 times a day to help control & hopefully prevent her seizures. She also said we can look into what the underlining cause is... But that's over 3,000 dollars for all the tests including an MRI. And even then that's just knowing what causes it, and not stopping it. And there's even the possibility there's nothing we can do. She said it could be a brain tumor but we won't know for sure unless we do the MRI. The vet mentioned chemotherapy to treat it... My dog is 13 years old... I'm not going to put her through that. If she's in pain then I'll really have no choice but to put her down.. But as for now she isn't suffering. Hopefully I'll have her for another year or two if her seizures stay under controlled. But if her quality of life goes down I'll really have no other choice.. Man this really ****ing sucks...
