Luci

I've spoken with some of you about this already but wanted to fill everyone in.
Luci's been having some skin issues which we think we figured out was due to the jerky treats I was giving her when she would be kenneled. After 2 rounds of antibiotics and allergy meds/steroids she's doing much better. Last week, I noticed that she was having some trembling with her jaw going rigid..made me think of lock jaw to explain it. I mentioned it to the vet when we went in for a check up. He was a different vet than we usually saw and I wasn't particularly thrilled with him as he basically shrugged off what I told him. I filled Robert in on the visit and we decided to log any other episodes and if they continued we'd take her in with the details.
We ran errands yesterday and after coming home and putting Irina in her room (she was overly cranky and tired) we started fixing the bottom part of our screen door. Luci was at my side the entire time. She finally laid down and was resting. I headed upstairs to check on Irina and when getting up had put my hand in 'water'. I came back downstairs and asked Robert why there was water on the floor. I looked at Luci and she didn't look right...her eyes were huge and glassy. My poor baby was having a seizure! Robert sat with her while I called the vet. They told me to bring her right over. I started the car to cool it down while Robert got her leash. My friends and neighbors, Lissie and Danielle, were outside. I yelled to them what was wrong when they asked what was going on. Lissie got her purse and met me at the car. Danielle was outside waiting for us and Luci curled up in her lap and her entire body began shaking. We got her to the vet and decided to do some bloodwork to see if there was an underlying issue. All of that came back fine. So, she's now on meds for epilepsy. She takes 2 pills in the am and pm for epilepsy and 2 in the am and pm for her liver as the other meds can affect the liver.
While sitting in the dr's office waiting for her meds, she had another small seizure...lasted about 5 secs.
Robert had gone to bed last night and I stayed up to get some things done. I was headed to bed around midnight when she had another small one. So, I spent the night on the couch with her..and Rommel...so I could keep an eye on her.
She's either sound asleep today or running around like her crazy self. We're hoping this is the first day to her feeling better...finally. She's had a rough 2 months. We have a checkup next Saturday to see how she's doing on the meds.
