My beloved Jonah, seen here in my avatar, has seizures several times a year, and has done since he was 18 months old. He is going to be 9 years old on September 4. Unfortunatley, Jonah's seizures are the cluster type, where he will have anywhere from 2 to 8 in a 3 day period. With each seizure, he gets weaker. He is blind for a while after the seizure too. One of these times we will have to face the dreaded day, and do the right thing for him. I can't even say the word. The thing about him though, is that he recovers so well after a cluster, then he is wonderful for months, then it happens again. He is on a cocktail of medication that costs me a bundle every month, but as long as he is well, we will continue. He takes phenobarbitol, potassium bromide and leviteracetam every day, and when he is clustering, he also takes mega doses of clonazepam. Bless him, the boy comes twice a day for his meds and takes them willingly. We took him to a veterinary neurologist soon after he began the seizures, and she monitors his meds and liver function (the phenobarbitol is toxic to the liver, so he once went into liver failure too). But he is a tough boy, and adorable. Now he is grey in the face, but still my darling baby.
