Queenie is a chihuahua and has had seizures since she was very young. She's a little over 6yrs. now... the vets can't figure it out. There seems to be 2 kinds that she has ....the worst is violent uncontrolled muscle spasms so bad that I can only stay by her and speak softly while gently stroking her.... I'm afraid to hold her/restrain her as she is like a slinky going done steps without any control...others are less violent and she seems be aware that she's not o.k.
If anyone else has dealt with a similar situation please tell me if anything has helped.. Does anyone travel with a animal like this?
Tonight after the seizure was over, I ended up 1/3 off the bed, at the foot of course and forgot that I can not lay flat out on my stomach and get up without a chance that my back will lock up on me. I swear she was hiding a grin as she watched me move and twist around trying to get up without hurting myself.
I'm like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon " I'm too old for this shit"
