<DIV>I'd really appreciate any help or advice anyone could give that I could
pass on to a friend. Her sweet 14-year-old girl has had two major seizures
in the past three days-- first ones in her life. The vet can't figure out
the cause. She's on antibiotics in case it's an infection (her temperature
was 103). They may put her on phenobarbitol this week, even though they
don't know what's causing it. (She doesn't move much or go anywhere, so
they're pretty positive it's not poisons or anything ingested. An MRI
might be indicated, but given her age and health, they wouldn't do anything
invasive or major even if they did figure out what's causing it, and with her
underlying heart problem they don't want to sedate her for the test.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, she's concerned about doing all she can to ease her dog's suffering
during the seizures. (I was babysittting her yesterday for Easter, and she
had one, so now I'm concerned about what to do too, since I babysit for her
often.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If anyone has any kind of similar experience (late and sudden onset of
seizures with no other symptoms or warnings), or general advice about what to do
during seizures to help, my friend and I would be really grateful to hear from
you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>
