<div>Hi everyone, not sure if everyone remembers, but Mazzie had a seizure last June (I think the 24th) and this was her first one that we know of. She will be 5 in August and we adopted her from the humane society when she was 2 so she has been with us what will be 3 years in September. Anyhow, we were out of town so we called our vet and he walked us through it and we came back 2 days later and had bloodwork done and all was fine. He ruled her as having epilepsy and didn't put her on meds because she didnt' seize again to the best of our knowledge. When Mazzie has a seizure she does not shake; she gets very stiff, jaws clenched and non-blinking eyes with shallow breathing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyhow, fast forward ten days short of one year and we are again out of town at my mother's. I walked into my brother's room to find Mazzie laying stiff on her pillow. I about freaked because she was non-responsive and I thought she was dead because of her breathing having decreased so much that I didnt' think she was breathing. I went to get my mother and she sent my step father in and we both examined her. Clenched teeth by then, shallow breathing, but not as stiff. Then she could move her eyes around after that. Then, she sneezed loudly and lifted her head. She slowly got up and was a little wobbly but fine otherwise. She was tired after, just like last year's seizure. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is my question(s)----why one year later, in June and at my mom's? Last years were outside and this year inside. Both times have another thing in common which is that she was playing with one of the chocolate labs right before hand. We have been to my mother's plenty of times that Mazzie has been playing with the labs and no issues. Is this just coincidental or is there something in the month of June at my mom's house? Has anyone else experienced their basset or canine having seizures only within the same month in the same surroundings?</div>

<div>Maggie goes back on Saturday to get her mystery lump checked out. It looks much better and has one day of antibiotics left. Oliver goes in on Tuesday to have his deciduous canine teeth pulled, but one came out on its own so now he just needs to have one taken out and to clean the two canine adult teeth as food was stuck between them so much while there was 4 canine teeth total on top.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope everyone is well. It seems that we have had our minor share of health issues here, but it could always be worse then we have it so I am at least grateful for that. At least the 2 legger kids are healthy and the Dad slave is still safe on his deployment and my fibromyalgia hasn't been too bad this week. So it is not all bad things here.</div>

<div>DRool to all in need,</div>
<div>Dee, Maggie, Mazzie and Oliver</div>
