WHOOPS

So much for taking Max off his anti-seizure meds... I guess he needs them.. we were just lucky and haven't had a seizure... until tonight..

Being that Max is a SUPER DOG... he stood up through his whole seizure (about 25 seconds) and was just foaming at the mouth - I actually was beginning to wonder if he was choking and was going to need the heimlic maneuver.. No pooping or peeing during it.. he was aware of what was going on the whole time.. so I guess that is a minor seizure?

Spoke with Dr. Neary tonight and he suspected that it was that we took him off the anti-seizure meds... probably right.. He also mentioned that sometime a lot of exercise or activity can cause a seizure.. Max has had both things going on.. So he'll have to not drag me on long hikes...

He can still hear and can still see, and can still walk in a straight line. He still has an appetite and was foraging for food after wards.. and he could follow me all around the house and can turn right and left.. He didn't urinate, or poop on himself during his seizure either.

We gave him 750mg of Kepra on top of the 125Mg he had earlier today.... he should be sleeping well tonight.. After his seizure he walked around the house for a while, went outside and urinated and now he's zonked out in bed.. Simba is a little concerned about him...

Still working on uploading the video of Max jumping off the retaining wall and running across the back yard... but he sure was super active today...

Let's hope that was it for the seizures and we now know we should absolutely keep him on the anti-seizure meds... We don't know if the seizure is a side effect of the CK or a side effect of tumors.... but either way... back to the anti-seizure meds... (They do say that CK can sometimes cause seizures in people (and dogs) who didn't have seizures before..

The video below is of Max the morning after his seizure.  He is still a little dopey on Kepra but not too bad. 

The following video is of Max Sunday afternoon .. still looking for poop..

And Max this evening

Running around with a bully stick - probably not something that should be on his diet.

Playing with his cookie game.. trying to figure out under which block the cookie is and then open the door to get it.

Update:  4/30/2012 - Dr. Young said to put Max back on 500mg of Keppra for the rest of the week and then we can get him back to his normal dose... and we'll slowly work him back to his regular exercise routine...   Currently he's happy and drunk on his 500mg of Keppra so if he went for a walk.. he'd fall over!  He's trying to see if the kitchen he keeps walking in and out of the kitchen, food will magically appear.
