[Dailydrool] Champion Sleepers calendar and pre-ictal state (epilepsy)

[rebecca stanton]

We got our lovely calendar through today, it is beautiful. Thanks to everyone who made that possible, they are a must!
Morse had a couple of pre-ictal, I think they are called, states last night.  Only about half an hour after our evening walk, he was sitting in front of me in the lounge and started shaking uncontrollably, drooling and became very anxious, looking at dad-slave and I for reassurance.  We gently cuddled him and talked quietly to him, turned the lights down and and turned the tv off.  Neither state developed into a full blown seizure.  Can they be distracted out of it?  Dad-slave even managed to give him a tiny piece of sausage, and this seemed to temporarily pull him out of his trance.  After a seizure he is usually very warm and pants and drools, but this time he couldnt stop shivering.  I got him a hot water bottle and cuddled him up and gradually he returned to normal.  Today he is fine.  

We send special drool to all in need.
