A sad time-prayers for Levi [message #95319]

Our neighbors have a couple of young great danes. About two weeks ago the
doorbell rang late at night and it was the wife who was in tears because
Levi, the male, was having a siezure. Amy grabbed her vet crash kit and ran
over there. It looked like Levi was choking on part of a small rubber toy.
Something seemed to be stuck in his throat and after rubbing his throat,
whatever it was seemed to pass and the dog came around. We sorta' doubted it
was a toy in his windpipe, since if it would have passed, it would have
passed to the lung and this obviously didn't happen, but anyway.....he was
up and around. I'm not sure how long he had been siezing (and possibly not
breathing) before this passed.

Anyway.....same thing happened again last night. He siezed three times in a
row, we drove him to the vet, the vet treated him and he seemed to be OK so
we brought him home. They called this morning and the poor thing had
siezures all night and it appears he has stroked. He can't get up. He's a
beautiful, very sweet dane and I'm afraid his time may be up.

It's all up to God at this point, and I really, really do believe in
miracles so I'm doing the only thing I can for this wonderful guy. If you've
got any puppy prayers for Levi, he could sure use them right about now.

(sorry about the redeye.....my bad)

Hey Deej,

Sorry about the pup. I like almost all dogs more than I like almost all people.
Hope he gets better.

Great Danes are tougher because they're almost always such sweet tempered
dogs. Good luck.

When I got over to the neighbors house earlier, Levi was in the throes of
such an intense siezure that we were afraid his heart was going to stop then
and there, but he got through it so I picked him up, we loaded him in the
car and got him down to the vet. Levi is there now, getting rehydrated by IV
and getting stabilized with phenobarbital and potassium bromide. He's
defininitely doing better and they're keeping him overnight. It was so cool
to see things go down this way. He had 15 siezures between 1:00 AM and 1:00
PM today and he was totally spent but hopeully he can get some relief now
and have a good life.

I just got a call from our neighbor. Levi had one more siezure yesterday
about 15 minutes after we left the vet's office, before he had a proper
amount of meds onboard to stabilize him. Last night.......no more siezures
and today he's back to his old self so she's on her way down to pick him up
and bring him home. They understand that he may have occasional breakthrough
siezures but as the meds are adjusted,they're likely to lessen. Let's hope
that is the case anyway. Looks like his monthly medication will only cost
around $30.00 which is affordable for them, and if it's not, it's affordable
for us. We've decided to become involved with this situation if asked and to
help them out as much as is appropriate. They've got a 9 month old blue
female dane who's a real handful and needs some socialization/training so
we're gonna start mingling our hounds and getting them familiar with each
other. It's going to be a major circus around here occasionally. I'll post
some quad dane pandemonium pics when available.

Deej, was the vet able to determine exactly what's wrong with
him, or what caused the seizures? Or do they just have him on
some kind of generic anti-seizure doggie meds?

Neil,

It may just be genetic. These big dogs are so hybrid that they get tweaky
sometimes. this occasionally happens in lots of purebreds, especially the
larger ones. English mastiffs can be prone to it as well.

Nope, the Matrox, and Deej is going to put a pair of them in a Magma chassis,
so he'll have an octo-dane rig.

Glad the pup is doing better Deej,

Me too man. It was heartbreaking to think that this cool young pup would
lose the game over this.
