Cooper had a seizure

[Martha & Cooper]

I am pretty worried right now.  Cooper had a seizure today at Daycare.   They called me and asked me if they could take them next door to their Vet and of course I said Yes.  When I got there, he looked fine, but after the Vet talked to me and told me how long it lasted, I decided to let her go ahead with some blood work and a few xrays of his abdomen to be sure he didn't ingest anything. 

His cbc came back normal, but his liver enzymes were abnormal and billirubin in particular.  Then his abdominal xray also showed an irregularity in the liver area.   She said this may point to him being born with a "liver shunt".   She took more blood and wanted me to bring him home to eat and then bring him back in two hours.   Also said she would give me something to cover him over the weekend in case he has more seizures.   Poor baby.  

 

I am trying not to worry about a diagnosis before we actually get one, but I am hoping it is not this liver problem.  It is a genetic flaw that they can be born with.

Martha I will keep you and Cooper in my thoughts. It sounds like your vet is being very proactive and getting you to the right specialists.

Hi Martha, I'm sorry to hear your Cooper isn't well. I am thinking of you both and hoping for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. My doodles send kisses to Cooper!

I send wishes for the best possible outcome for Cooper, whether it is surgery or meds only.

Just reading this now and want to send prayers and the best outcome for you and Cooper. You were lucky to have such a caring daycare and responsive vet at the ready! Hope it can all be treated and he can be himself again soon. Take care and keep us posted!
