you ain't heavy . . . your my brother

Oh no! Another trip to the vet for Brady and Eli!

Well, these littermates are now six months old. Eli has been having psychomotor seizures since he was three months old and has seen two different vets and a holistic vet and is on a good program of medication combined with chinese herbs. But this morning, Brady had his first psychomotor seizure and it was terrifying (both for him and for us). We went to the vet today and Brady is now on the same program as Eli.

On Monday, they are scheduled to have their cherry eye surgeries done and Eli is going to get a spinal tap to check for fluid in his brain. It is rare for puppies this young to develop seizures but also the psychomotor seizures are another rarity. Similar to night terrors, it is a screaming fit where they try to flee, as if something invisible is chasing them. Brady was trying to wedge himself into the corner of the room this morning and his body stiffened and his heart rate was rapid. The interesting thing is that Eli seemed to recognize what was happening and stood back and gave Brady his space.

Each of these boys (Eli is the white one, Brady the buff one) is going to need to find an adopter who is prepared for the medical issues that a dog with seizures brings. They are really sweet lovely little puppies and they are each craving finding their very own forever homes. Anyone out there up for adopting a special needs doggie? (or a pair?)

Can you lend a helping paw?

We owe our boarding bill of $3021 for the month of May, we also owe Brentwood Pet Clinic $2796.22 and have a new vet bill running up right now at Community Vet for the six new cockers. And now Brady and Eli's surgery next week. Please help spread the word for us, no donation is too small!
