Pets are family, too.

Hope the poor li'l pup does ok with meds, if needed.

Literally five minutes ago, I got off the phone with my wife who informed me that one of our cats got hit by a car...
she's devastated, and the kids don't yet know...
my little guy had a seizure 4 months ago......and then nothing, whew. but then sunday nite at 3am had another and at 2 pm monday had another. it broke my heart to hold him till he came out of it. we called the vet and they put him on phenobarbitol. he had a small seizure that evening and since he will shake his head and as you say, make odd motions with his mouth. the drug, which is a sedative, raises the seizure threshold but takes a week or so to become 100% affective and has side affects of its own. i will let you know if he returns to normal once his metabolism adjusts to the meds. good luck to both of us and max and jasper.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
