Need good thoughts...

[WebmasterPete]

Went to the vet yesterday with Max for his regular check up- and it turns out my baby might have a seizure disorder. He's been 'biting at the air' lately when nothing is there. At first, I thought it was just an oddity of behavior. The doctor disagrees and thinks that there might be something else wrong. I know it may sound crazy to some - but Max is like my child. The thought of something like this happening to him is killing me. They ran a series of tests yesterday that I should get back today. If those are inconclusive, we'll have to do some other testing.

So, please think good thoughts for Max.

Thanks,
Pete

Pete I feel your pain, I just had to put one of my dogs down the day before vacation last week and I am just sick over it. However I do have some good news. My other dog has a seizure disorder and he has been fine for 11 years. I too thought he was having trouble with his hip due to the way he was behaving and it turns out he was having a seizure. He has been on meds for 11 years and occasionally has a rare seizure the med doesnt control but otherwise is just fine. Hang in there our furbabies are part of the family too! Max will do fine. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Pete,

Our fur-baby, Buddy, died two years ago at a good old age. But he developed a seizure disorder when he was about 18 months old. He would know one was coming on and would get very clingy to us. He couldn't walk with most and would lie there trembling. It is very emotional to see it at first, but after a while you get used to it. We had him on seizure meds twice a day which seemed to lesson not the frequency, but the severity. Sometimes he got an odd odor with them as well. After a minute or two, he would come out of it and go get a drink of water and be all better.

Buddy never "bit at the air" so I don't know about that. I have seen dogs do things like that on Animal Planet show "It's me or the Dog." The trainer on there stated that things like that are sometimes a mental disorder and sometimes just the dog being bored that needs some stimluation - just telling you that for what it's worth. . .

Good luck to you and your baby - I totally understand. Baby and Buddy were our lives for 15 years (Pomeranians). . . After they passed we waited and grieved for over a year and then bought Dobie this past summer. He is not a replacement but another child to us all the same.



Love,
Angie

Pete - I am so sorry to hear that Max may be ill, I love when he speaks up on the podcasts.... We have three dogs and 2 cats and I know how you feel, I love them as much as I do our 2 legged kids.. Modern Vet medicine is wonderful and if Max is ill, I am sure your vet will be able to provide you with the just the right fix so that he is feeling well again. I will be thinking and praying for him
