olive

last night our dog, olive, had a seizure.

it was probably one of the most sobering, terrifying experiences i have ever had.

on sunday. greg and i came home from our mini-vacation in plano and olive was acting fine. in fact she was a bit annoying. she was desperate to play and it was rainy outside and we wanted to watch movies and she kept doing her puppy thing of shoving her slobbery toys into our hands. it was also cute.

the next day. monday. we didn't have work or school. so we spent most of the day napping and stuff. that evening we gave olive her food. she was acting normal. and then she stopped eating. and came into the living room- walking slowly-drunkenly. she then layed down on the floor- almost as if she was tired from the short walk. she then walked over to me and i asked her to come up on the couch with me but before she could do that she collapsed on the floor. i'll save anyone the scary details of what happened next. but it was decided that we would all take her to the emergency vet. when we got her in the car she started to return to normal but she was groggy and tired and out of it.
and then by the time we got her to the emergency vet she was more excited about the other dog in the room than anything else. she was fine.

the vet said it probably was seizure. and that the only thing we could really do right now was keep an eye on her and watch to see if she has anymore again. then we time them and see how many she has each month.

the one good thing of all of this was that we found where there are 2 emergency vets close by. that is good. b/c before that we had NO idea where they were and we were all freaking out about where to go.



there is olive at 41/2 months. she's 7 mos now.
so if anyone prays and thinks that praying for animals isn't silly then just pray that she doesn't have anymore seizures.
thank you
