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.
