Cassie had a 1 1/2 minute seizure just around noon today. That's her second seizure in 4 days. And her 3rd in under a month. We're worried that the bad days are upon us.
On both Friday and Saturday we scheduled ourselves to be gone for 5 hour stretches. Each were the longest times that Cassie has been unattended since the end of February. We were feeling confident. This morning even we talked about how she's already one full month beyond the median lifespan.
But she's proving us wrong. Two in 4 days is a lot.
She's been waking up around 5am recently, a full hour earlier than previously. And she'd been getting her phenobarbital at the same time. So, we're hoping that maybe what's going on is that she's getting used to the meds. We're going to call her vet tomorrow AM to ask about upping the dosage, or changing to another medication. It may very well be the simple continuation of her tumor, but we're holding out hope that we can tweak the meds and get more comfortable months with her. Who knows. I'm not at all sure that the doctor really will know anything. I think it will be up to us, and I'm leaning towards additional phenob, knowing that it will make her even more sluggish...
Good days, and now bad days...
