At around 8am this morning PolyVector and I had one of the biggest scares ever. Prancer had a grand mal seizure. Apparently he has been having very small seizures that we thought were him cramping up. I feel so stupid for not putting these two things together for so long. Prancer back in 2002 had an extremely terrible car accident which resulted in half of his cranium being smashed. The doctors did warn my mom that he would probably end up with seizures or total blindness. This definitely is going to change the way we take care of him, including his diet and exercise. This coming Tuesday we are making the long drive down to California to finish our move and I hope everything goes well.
I know this may be a long shot, but if anyone knows or can recommend anything concerning epilepsy in dogs please leave us a comment. You better believe we are doing all the research we can online and as soon as the move is complete will be consulting a vet.
And I just want to say that seeing Prancer go into a full grand mal seizure is something I would never want to have happen to anyone else’s pets. He is doing well right now and comfortably relaxing in his bed. We have drawn all the shades and keeping a very calm atmosphere.
