No ill effects from the bug bait - I really think it must have been my non epi boy Blue who got into it.  the reason I think this? there was plastic left - Mason would have probably ate the plastic.

 

Recently I've noticed a lot of epi's losing their battles - its tough - and i notice it kind of happens in waves. Is it the moon, Is it solar storms, what is it... Its like work - even at work I notice waves of increased preemie births... curious - and i know there are a lot of theories out there..and one more probably won't make any difference and I'm sure others have already thought of it. ....oh well... keep up the research and keep up the faith we can fix this.

 

I've now seen a child have a seizure - and i knew what that mother was feeling - that scared helpless feeling and I knew what to say and how to help - well as much as I could. so you think ....things happen for a purpose... just wish sometimes they didn't. did I learn how to help mason so i could help this parent cope better? I dont know..but it felt good to be able to help in a small way.

 

 

well all is well - he still gets that spazy look and suck that duck toy - and I wonder if something else is going on in that head of his.

okay so it's a good thing I don't write much on this blog.... if I did that means we were still in the scary stage of canine epilepsy or like many I know that have to deal with seizures very often - we're the lucky ones.....

 

Tonight we came home from dinner at my parents to find little bits of plastic all over the kitchen floor - have no idea what it is..... did my research and realize one of them had gotten into some old bug bait - we had left the laundry door open (that won't happen again).  We don't know which dog and the fact Mason is prone to anything abnormal setting him off - I had a short burst of panic then did my reserach - they were acting fine so I knew I could breathe and find some answers. $60 to call the animal poison control line - so forget that - I went online for answers. Apparently the biggest concern was if they had ate the plastic. They did not but Dave is going to watch for constipation and abdominal pain just in case. Both dogs are over 70 pounds - that was definitely in our favor tonight.   So I gave them burnt toast (I had read that since we didn't have active charcol - and mashed potatoes - a bit of milk as well.  We'll have to watch them for toxic symptoms but so far so good. I also gave them rescue remedy - and so now they're pretty much zoned out. Mason woke up and gave me an evil look saying "I know you drugged me". I wish I had the camera for that one.

 

So it's been probably 2 hours and they're doing fine. The information online says it'll take 30 hours to get out of their bodies but so far so good. I'll be back online sooner than later if there is an issue but I don't expect it at this point.

 

all is well and so far seizure free since May (knock on wood).
