[Dailydrool] FW: A Very Worried MomP

[Esther Strom]

I know it doesn't help now, but I would have left Drake at the vet's today for observation since you're having to leave him alone for such a long time. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he's fine.

Hello Droolers,
The boys are sending drool to all those in need. And Drake
is asking for drool for this worried MomP. Last night Drake was sleeping
peacefully in his little bed, when all of a sudden he let out a blood curdling
howl. Since Drake doesn’t howl, I got worried, shot out of bed, and hit
the lights. He was standing stiff as a board, tail out, ears down eyes half
open baying as hard as he could. I got him calmed down and he went outside, and
refused to come back in. I assumed he had a nightmare, and wanted to snuggle
with brudder Ahroo for comfort. This morning (11) when I went to refill the
water bowl and give treats before I left for work, he was walking slowly and
not talking. Normally they maul the gate in the hopes that they are spending the
day unsupervised inside (haha, yeah right). Ahroo-ba did as expected, but Drake
just kinda waddled over and looked at me. Then laid down. No talking, no
barkin, nothing. For over twenty years, I watched seizures in a human (my
brother) and afterwards he was always a little cranky, sleepy, slow and
disoriented. I watched this all over again with my little boy this morning.
Cannot take off work, but did speak with the vet. They told me it was too late
to verify if that’s what it was or not, but to make an emergency call the
next time he had one. They would try and come to my house. I had to leave the
little boogers in the back yard for me to work and will not be home until 11pm
tonight. No one to check on them, and I'm terrified something is seriously wrong.
I may be over reaching this problem, since I lost my brother to complications
of his epilepsy, but my husband is in training, I'm at work, and I cant seem to
shake the something wrong part of my day. Any suggestions of someone who has
dealt with this or at least seen it are greatly appreciated. Thanks Droolers,
Love from all the boys in this house, and from MomP too!
