Pepper apparently had a seizure yesterday morning. She acted scared and got under the coffee table. I figured that there were distant thunder storms because that's wat she does when she is scared, so I got on weather.com. No thunderstorms within 200 miles. As I was checking that, she staggered into her crate (her safe place) like a drunk person. I pulled her out of her crate. She couldn't walk, appeared not to be able to see, and just fell down. Hubby quickly put her crate in the car and put her in it while I called the vet and said that Pepper had an emergency situation. When we arrived, he was waiting for us at the door. By then she had regained her ability to walk. He observed her all day and ran tests.
Out of range tests:
GLU 113 (max range 110)
WBC 5.77 (min range 6)
MO% 4.7% (max range 4%)
PLT 134 (min range 200)
EKG normal
There are two ancestors in her lineage over the past five generations with epilepsy. Epilepsy is common among show-bred standard poodles.
We were referred to a neurologist at Auburn University Vet College. The first available appointment is on Monday. We are so on edge. We are scared because we have no idea when another seizure will happen again. We don't leave her alone for a second. Hubby has a trade show to attend in Europe and leaves on Friday, so we are both totally freaked out.
If any of you have any clout at Auburn and can possibly get Pepper in for an appointment at the vet college this week, could you PM me?
Please pray for Pepper.
