Who knew back in ’09 when we were dying laughing at HBO’s Flight of the Conchord’s “epileptic dog” episode that we’d end up with an epileptic dog. We’ve known since December that Delilah most likely had epilepsy but we kind of put it on the back burner as she was only having one seizure a month if not less. Last night when I got home from work we pretty much thought she had suffered the worst of seizures and was dying on us. I was a hot emotional mess, hysterically crying, holding her like it was the last and Payton made her new stuffed seahorse “majesta” give her lots of kisses to make everything better. I took her to the vet at 2 am and her blood panel showed us she is 100% healthy except for her epilepsy. She most likely had a few seizures while we were gone yesterday which is why she lost all mobility of her back legs and couldn’t stop shaking. So now, like Bah-Bra, we have an epileptic dog that will be on meds for the rest of her life. Secretly, we know she is loving all the attention, well played Delilah, you got your first post since since before Payton was born.
When I was growing up, we had an epileptic dog. Daily meds stuffed in peanut butter or cheese kept it under control. It’s scary to watch your four-legged kid go through that. Take care, Miss Delilah!
