Petie had a Gran Mal Seizure.....

[Bob & Petie]

Spent the night at an Emergency Vet Friday Night. Petie had a few seizures that lasted almost an hour. They kept getting progressively worse and had to take him when he started bending backwards and stiffining his muscles. It was very scary! We've never had any health problems with our past dogs and it was a real frightening night.They got it stopped and kept him for 2 days because they started him on Phenobarbitol. we have him home now, picked him up around noon today. He is much better, not seizing, but is very disoriented from the meds. They say he will be like this for a few days till his body gets used to the meds. I hope so, cause when he is walking and swaying sometimes it makes me think he's going to seize again. Don't mean to dump on all of you, Just needed to vent it....

Will keep updates posted.

Merry Christmas!
