The Used Dog, who is known to a few folks here because he's been to GTGs in Oregon, California, and Montana had a couple of seizures this week.
He'd had one back in 2009, and we don't know why. I took him into the vet yesterday. He had his blood analyzed. He is terribly healthy for his age and the vet had no explanation for the seizure episodes. So, he's now on Valium for 5 days.

From what I understand, (not a medical professional) the valium is supposed to calm down any rapid firings in his brain. Then, after the pills run out, we see if he has any more episodes. If so, and depending on the frequency, it'll be time for epilepsy drugs. I'm hoping this is just a very rare thing like it was before.

I keep expecting to see him sitting in a chair with a cigarette in one paw, and a martini in the other paw, because in my head, that's the stereotypical valium user. :msp_smile:

I've not noticed him being any less laid back than he always has been.

I take you seriously:cry::cry::cry::cry:

Seriously tho, I thought it was fun to have a chance to talk #### in your general direction regarding falling:cheers:

If any of y'all really want to shut me up just remind me that I can't match cuts or make a straight back cut, and I'll go pout in the corner:frown:

If'n u'r talking about the cranky scot, it was quite a relief to see him back on line. He seems tired and not in the mood for sport, so none was offered by me. Hope allay'all are having a good night. Check out the falling thread, I totally bullbucked Bob. I think I really helped him with falling:bowdown::biggrin:

Hey Ms. P, do you know an approximate age of yer dog? Has he ever had seizures up to this point? Last question, is there anyway you left any chocolate lying around? I personally don't think you should put the dog on a permanent sedative just yet. It may not ever happen again, if it is suggested to use meds ask your Vet about daily Melatonin regime. In the long run, naturals will be less impact on the liver and just as effective.

Did your Vet do a worm scan? There is a worm a dog can get from eating coon droppings that goes to the brain causing seizures also.

He had a seizure in 2009, and I took him in then. I'd not noticed him having any since. I couldn't figure out why he knocked things around in the travel trailer on Saturday, and then I figured it out. His seizures are very violent. I have to put a pillow over him and almost put all my weight on him to keep him from bashing around and getting hurt. He's a strong boy.

No chocolate. The only weird thing was he did eat a small, stinky mussel at the beach. No worm scan, just a major blood scan, and he was poked and prodded and pronounced in good health. He'll be eight in December. I got him used, when he was two years old and very unruly.

Ma and Pa had a little miniature Grey Hound, had epilepsy real bad, spent most of his life on phenobarbitol... lived like 15 years or sumsuch... but he still had seizures once a year or so, usually when he got scared or whacked his head on something (he was kinda dumb too... fast and dumb...)
 
Howdy Jeff, how's it going with wife number four? I'm gonna be in pedernales falls with the current wife and soon to be in foster care kids. Closer to Georgetown than usual:cheers:
 
Evening Men! Man I feel the need to come forward with admitting I have been on the other site...trying to make a home over there while this site was having alot of troubles. I made a mistake by thinking everything was going to be the same...it's NOT! Although alot of people have migrated over there...I think as soon as they realize that "structure" and "slight rules" are not a bad thing, they will be back. It only takes one dumb ass farmer trying to throw insults in order to fit in to ruin a site for me. Life is waay too short to try and figure out if someone is trying to be funny and fit in or if they are just really a POS and probably have a wretched life and most absolutely a POS to be around in everyday walking around life...not just over the internutz.

AS is my "home", and even though there are differences in cutting styles and timber and just differences in people...this is a good site and this is where I will be hanging out from now on. Hope administration doesn't mind me being here...I don't want to go elsewhere.

All day today I was messed up in the head thinking about why some people are the way they are...your life must REALLY suck to just be outright mean to people in order to get your kicks. F T S O B! If he comes here I will point him out...fricken farmer bashing loggers on a logging site...
 
Hey Mike! Hows it going man! Hey ifn you have trouble posting just hit the refresh button and your post will come on through.

Man Mike I cut some dandy timber today! I tell ya what...this place is crazy how the timber lays...there is good timber hiding in every corner and draw on this place! I cut (5) red oaks today that were all (5) cutters in an area I figured there wouldn't be much timber. Everything else averaged (3) to (4) cuts. Super nice timber...man I'm glad to be out of that white oak set...that crap got really hard in these draws...takes quite a bit more work to fall them...red oaks, I was cruising right through them today!

Oh hey, ya know the tree I was talking about yesterday where the skidder ripped my bar in half? Well I went back to it to finish it...that damn thing pinched me on the other side too. I went and got the skidder Opa nd told him to just push the bastard over...it was VERY unstable and just waiting to crush someone! When it fell I saw why...it had a a (3) point hollow...I would say that tree would just walk all over yer bar no matter how it was cut...I don't run into ones like that very often and I will admit it kind of buggered me to say the least!...and rightly so...it as swayed, bowed, head leaned and rotten...not a good combination!
 
Mike, when you press submit reply, the page might come up white and say data base error...press refresh and then a box will come up and say something, just press continue, it will then say something about duplicate posts and come back on site and your post will be there.

Hope ya had a good day today!
 
This actually pretty sad, all my friends are over there...and I am here just talking to myself....oh well I ain't going back. I am pretty use to talking to myself I guess...it's only bad when I start arguing... :msp_sad:
