And her expert advice is always worth every penny
I can’t fault our vet. She is always there to offer advice and suggest new ways to help the wide range of animals she looks after in her practice.
I have a golden retriever. Archie is now 8 years old, but when he was 3 ½ something happened that changed his life and ours forever.
He had a fit. It was a Sunday morning, and this was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
He cycle fitted, coming out of one fit then immediately into another, for half an hour.
We had to take him to the Royal Veterinary College in Potters Bar, where he spent a week while they tried to work out why it happened!
The vets at the college couldn’t figure out the trigger for the fit, but they did diagnose him with epilepsy.
Since then we have had further fits (he ended up at the hospital for a second time a month later) and various medications to stop or at least control his condition.
He had been having a fit every 4 – 6 weeks until the end of July when he started having them every 2 weeks. What was more worrying were the after-effects: difficulty getting up after the fit, loss of control over his back legs, and unsteadiness and confusion for longer than usual.
We spoke to our vet, and she mentioned that another dog she’d treated, who had a history of fitting, hadn’t had one while being treated with a painkiller for its arthritis.
The vet ran some tests and decided it was safe to give him this medication as well – to see if it would control his epilepsy.
I will let you know how he gets on.
