Freckles is back at the vets. No more seizures. But last night and this morning were bad, and honestly I am not sure whether it's the meds or what at this point. She has been making this sound, almost like she is going to throw up but doesn't, since we brought her home yesterday. She has been drooling non-stop, the king size comforter she slept on last night was completly soaked with drool this morning. She can barely open her eyes and when she does all you see is her inner eyelids. She's thrown back up every bit of water we have given her as well.... she just looks sad and miserable. We both didn't get much of any sleep last night. I will let you know when I hear something.
Well I just talked with the vet . She is doing worse 
. The vet says her neurological state is worse than it was yesterday. He said there is a high chance that she could have valley fever or possibly some sort of bacterial infection of the brain. Again, we won't have any revery *friendly* persons back until MAYBE next week. She's coming home tonight (no one is at the vets office during the night), she'll be on fluids and more meds.
I am trying to stay positive but it is really hard...please keep those prayers coming.

Freckles is doing a little better today. When I came home she got up and greeted me with a tail wag for the first time since before the seizure, it really was nice to see. Her eyes are a little brighter as well. The vet gave her some antibotics last night, I am guessing it has helped some. But she is still really spacy, and acts almost forgetful. She has another appointment at 5:00p.m. today for another checkup. I'll let you know what he says.
thank you all for the support- it means a lot!

Well we're back. Most of the results came back today, She has Valley Fever.
considering all the neurological syptoms she has been having the vet is pretty positive that it is in her brain. Valley fever is very common around here (Arizona) in both pets and people. Most often it is seen in the lungs, which is easily maintained. But considering it is in her brain, the vet is worried. It is a deadly disease if not treated. It still can be maintained though, she will have to take meds for the rest of her life. Looking at a more poitive side, there's always that slight possibility that she takes to the meds positively and later down the road we will have the infection under enough control that we could take her off the meds... but there is not cure.
He sent her home with some more meds today, and she has to remain on the phenobarbital because more seizures are certainly possible. He said the reason she has been acting normal (for the most part) today is beause she was on IV fluids which made her perk up. But she could very well go back to how she was at any time. We are waiting for a couple more test results to come back so we can get an idea if this is something contracted recently or not. And then I guess we'll take it from there.
