More Vet School Adventures
I haven't mentioned this before, so now I am. A little over a month ago, Billie had a seizure while she was sleeping in her crate. It was a significant seizure (and devastating to me since I already have one dog with issues and my dogs are my family) but not a major one. Dogs have seizures. Some dogs have one seizure in their lifetime and never have another. Then, a week later, she had another one. My vet advised putting her on medication, not bad advice but I had a couple of objections, the most significant one being--what if they're not idiopathic, but there is, in fact, a reason that we ought to be dealing with Right Away? So, this week, Billie got to go to the vet school for a neurological workup.
So far, they have found nothing out of the ordinary. Next step if for me to decide: medication or CT scan. Apparently my generally preferred action--ignore it and hope it goes away--isn't going to work out for me. Come to think of it, it almost never does.
Coming up, I will be figuring out my questions and, depending on the answers, decide on my next course of action. Meanwhile, of course, she is acting good and fine and swell.
