After doing more research on the Valley Fever I believe that he never really got rid of it even though he had no symptoms for a few months. We called the vet this morning and had him call in a refill of his meds. Monday we will take hime in to the vets and have a titer drawn to see where we are at and if that is the problem. He has been hot but hasn't had another seizure since Thursday.

Buddy had a second seizure today. It did not get as far or bad as the first one. It happened right after his tubby. Must have started while I was straightening up in the bathroom. When I walked out he was sitting hunched over, staring straight ahead and peeing. He did jump up on the couch and I put the ice pack on him right away. He just sat there staring ahead. After cooling him a bit I took him outside (on leash) and he was walking a little stiffly and still looking straight ahead. He did his business and then seemed like he could see around him. Not sure if he was kinda blind for a bit or what. We came back in and I used the ice pack again for a little while and then he seemed fine. After his tubby he gets excited and trying to dry off by sliding along the couch so I don't know if that triggered it or not. I am just so glad he did not stop breathing or start screaming!!! I didn't realize that I was even stressed until DH called and I broke down crying. I just did what I had to do to get him through it. If anyone has any advice or input, I would love to hear it. He is fine this evening and so am I!

I hope she feels better soon and we hear from her!!!!!!

Excellent article! Thanks for posting it! I'm going to share the link with another site I visit.

Thanks you all!!! I am always into easy! Martha, what book? I hope you are thinking of TheMartianChick! Or did I talk in my sleep?! CGA, I love the idea for the dress! I just went to a thrift shop today and found some material for a nightgown and to make a chicken doorstop. I will post photos and link when I finish it--the doorstop, that is! The nightgown will be cut by the one I have now. Six seams total! Then I will try more of the t-shirt aprons! I think I will have an assortment of items to sell at the Farmers Market.

I'm still sitting here in the rv park with too much time on my hands. This is the latest project which I did in a couple of hours this morning. I just used an old t-shirt! Here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.rufflesan...irt-aprons.html Now to see if I can get a photo up! Yay! It worked!

I'm sorry Angel has had one too! They are scary! I really think the ice pack has kept Buddy from having another one. He had a higher temp for several days and now seems back to normal temps. We just kept icing him down on his back. Did Angel have any preliminary signs like the ragged breathing or higher temp? Here is the link for the ice pack therapy! http://www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com/icepack.htm

Good Morning! Last night, Bud started the panting and rough breathing thing again. I got on the computer and found a new treatment--probably not new. We held an ice pack on his lower back until he cooled down and stopped panting. The article said it will slow down or stop a seizure if they have already started. Or prevent it like I think we did. We went to bed shortly after and he slept all night. I didn't. Still too nervous about him and it was HOT!!! One note--Do not give them an antihistamine! It can cause more seizures! <BR minmax_bound="true"><BR minmax_bound="true">The cool front came through at 7 am and I went back to bed for an hour and a half. That was wonderful! <BR minmax_bound="true"><BR minmax_bound="true">Not much going on today and that is Fine with me!!!!! Thanks for all the ideas and prayers! You are all appreciated!!!!!

Thanks out of the ordinary and Mother!!!!!! I copied Mothers post and will check out the website for canines! It's just scary!!!

I read in a few different places that most dogs have ideopathic seizures--meaning they don't know the cause. We just don't have hundreds of dollars for tests. Probably wouldn't for me either. When or if it happens again, we will talk to the vet who is more like a country vet.

Scared us half to death! Woke up with him seizing and screaming, bit DH because we thought he wasn't breathing and his hand was too close to the teeth. Lasted less than a minute but we felt like it was a lot longer. I did a lot of research in the middle of the night and am calmer now. Yesterday evening, I told DH Buddy seemed off, panting and staying right by me. Now I know that is a precurser. After the seizure he was back to normal in half an hour. Now I know how to treat him if it happens again and what to remove from his diet and life. He seems fine this morning and I have already thrown out his treats. Anyway, here is a site I found with info about what is good and what is bad in dog foods in general. http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php ... erproducts This pup has had a rough life with the previous abuse, Valley Fever and now this! He is pure unconditional love!!!!!! in a 24 pound package!!!!!!

Big crockpot of chili!!!! Guava/banana smoothies for dessert!!!

We are praying for you all!!!

Thanks Necie!!!!!! Appreciate your time!
