harv has been having some health issues for the past couple weeks- namely urinating nine thousand times a day and drinking a lot. bloodwork has come back normal, no idea what's causing it.
last night he started seizuring. he seizured at 12:30 am and 4:30 am. i took him to work where he sat in a kennel for five hours and didn't seizure at all. exam was normal. we sent out yet more bloodwork looking for causes of both the dilute urine and now the seizures.
we went home, were home an hour, and he fell asleep and started seizuring again (2:30 pm). i took him into work and he got an iv catheter placed and i got some injectable valium to take home in case of more seizures.
sure enough, an hour after we get home (4:30 pm) he seized again and i gave him a dose of valium and shovelled him into a crate to sleep it off. he's up and about already and i'm stressing and waiting for the next one. i hope to god i wait and wait and it never comes.
i'm scared out of my mind. i love this stinking old fart of a dog so much and i'm scared that he's not going to make it through this. i'm scared that he's got a brain lesion and it's just all going to get worse. i'm scared i'll be alone in the middle of the night, 40 minutes from the closest e-vet, with a dog who can't stop seizing.
this sucks so hard.
if you've got any prayers to spare, please please send them harv's way.
i'm not ready to lose him yet.
