Prayers said for all.

My dog Sheba WAS doing real good. Last night she threw up a couple of times, which is not unusual,as she gulps her food sometimes and it comes back up.She can be a real piggy !

Early this morning, with no warning, Sheba had a Grand Mal seizure. She has never had a seizure before.This seizure lasted a good 5 minutes. She was thrashing around, convulsing, and her mouth was rapidly slightly opening and rapidly shutting. All I could do was make sure she was not hurting herself until the seizure ended. I had a friend many years ago who used to get Grand Mal seizures, so I know what to do.

The Vet had called here yesterday morning while I was at church, to see how Sheba was doing.He is a great and caring Vet, who took the time on a day off, to check on Sheba. I called him this morning after Sheba stabilized. He said he could give me meds for the seizure, but I told him unless she has another one, I will treat this as an isolated incident.I also told him I will not be doing any further treatment for Sheba. What it is, is what it is.

Sheba, who was doing great when I brought her home, is now listless, and seems to not remember how to eat and drink. I have to hold her head and pet her to stimulate her to do this. It is like she is not here anymore.I am sure this massive seizure caused brain damage.

I am not taking her in to be put down.She is comfortable on her soft bed in my breakfast nook. I expect her to pass away in the next couple of days unless she bounces back from this. There is nothing else I can do for her, and taking her back to the Vet is not going to make a real difference.All I can do is love her until she is gone. I just hope that she hangs on until my 3 daughter's get back home late tomorrow night.They are out of state visiting family.I did not tell them what happened this morning with Sheba.They are having fun with their cousins, and I do not want to spoil it for them.

So, I am on a death watch with Sheba. I am bawling again, but got to get it together for a school board meeting late this afternoon.

I do need prayer, and so does Sheba.
