westielover Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Awwww Openarms - that's so sad. I'm so sorry for your loss - but you know what - this past year has probably been the best year of her life thanks to you! You gave Daisy a loving home and she was happy. Even though she died in an unfortunate way - look back over the past 12 months and feel good knowing that you saved her life in another way.

Red Mal Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I am so sorry to hear about your dog. A friend just recently had the exact same thing with her dog and she was PTS after 2 days. She fitted continuously and was sedated. The vet hoped to scan her as soon as she came round, but every time she did, she would fit violently again, so because of the risk of permanent brain damage, she was PTS just 2 days ago. After exmination and many tests, it was discovered that the dog suffered a blood disorder ( not sure of medical names sorry !) that was a genetic disorder. It had nothing to do with epilepsy. I only know this much but hope it helps in some way. The vet felt so strongly about it, that he sent a medical report to the KC to have the Dam of this dog contacted and desexed immediately, so as not to pass on this problem. So sorry for your pain, it's never easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4pups Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 oh I'm so sorry about your beautiful girl, it must be a terrible shock . At least you gave her a happy home while she was with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I wouldn't be putting her to sleep just yet. Please hold off if you can and try other things first. I belong to a large list that is for dogs with seizure disorders and what you are describing is more common then you think and many of these dogs go on to live happy lives! Of course, in this instance, it may not be possible but please... if there is anyway of holding off until you receive further advice then do not euthanaise her. It may sound hopeless but it may be able to be controlled. What has the vet got her on to try and stop her status? PM for further detail if you want to discuss this more.

~Anne~ Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Does your dog have annual heartworm injections? I hope your little girl recovers. Good luck. Evelin There is NO evidence that hw injections cause seizures or epilepsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Shepherd mom Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Oh openarms, I am so very sorry this happened to Daisy - as soon as she finds love and happiness something else happens to ruin it. From your description of her before you found her it sounds like she might have been abused in her previous home - if she'd been beaten on the head, is it possible that over time the damage could have resulted in this un-ending seizure? Does anyone have an opinion on this? Well done to you for taking her into your home and showing her the love and kindness all living creatures deserve.

Erny Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) Openarms ..... I am so sorry to read of your loss. Having had to send my dog with her wings only 8 weeks ago, I understand the devastation you feel. The shock of this being your girl's first fit - and it being such a long one (even a fit lasting 5 minutes can be cause for grave concern) leading to your girl's gift of freedom, has not even given you the grace of expecting such an outcome. Daisy is at the rainbow bridge now. In peace. I will send thoughts to my sweet girl Kal, asking her to extend her doggy paw and show your girl around. Talk this through, and cry, as much as you need. Take comfort in the fact you gave your girl a wonderful 12 months - time that she could well otherwise have been denied had you not been there as her saviour when you spotted her on that busy road. Take care for yourself, now. Edited September 13, 2006 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kozpink Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Poor baby RIP sweet Daisy :D Chin up openarms, I know its sooo very hard, we lost our darling Roo just 3mths ago, and not a day or night goes by that I don't think of her, we found her too, she got hit by a car, and the car didn't stop for her, we only had her for 3yrs, but I always tell myself that we were lucky to have that short time together. Your Daisy was VERY lucky to have meet you, and to have a great year with you, she knows she was special and loved. Not much we can say to make you feel better, but we are all thinking of you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
