Hopefully they’ll figure it

 

[volwindy]

will retest him in a week to two weeks

Said we will treat it as anemia with more medication that I need to go pick up

Maybe it’ll help

 

[volwindy]

If it is anemia, will need to do more tests to find out the underlying causes

 

[volwindy]

Not sure if we should go get a second opinion

It's obvious though something is going on with his head

What type of tests are they doing? Sorry I forgot.

I also forgot what medicine you said he was given. I'm sure its similar to phenobarbital and I hated Behr being on it. He slept all the time and had no energy or motivation when he wasn't just laying around.

I might suggest looking at some info on canine idiopathic epilepsy. There is some good information about it that might help you understand and be able to question your vet better.

Hope they can figure it out

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

We need for him to get better

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

And I know you do too

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Hopefully they can figure it out soon

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I need to get some posting done

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I'm lagging

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

And starting to fall way behind

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

So time to get busy

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

My mind is drawing a blank

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Just blood and urine tests for now. Rocky is on something starting with a Z. He has the same results, sleeping all the time, and no energy otherwise. He has episodes when he is awake, so I'd rather him just sleep for now.

Kevin thought it was epilepsy to begin with and that is what the doc started treating him for on Friday. Now still treating him for that and anemia.

I do. Suppose it is good that I'm home with him. I just got back with the new meds and he seemed okay when I got back. This afternoon I have an interview which I'll be gone longer, definitely has me anxious.

Just staring at the couch

 

[volwindy]

Sideways too, probably how he feels

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Get better Rocky

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

And get better H
