I am so sorry Keeper and you are having to go through all of this. I hope tomorrow you learn what is causing this and how it can be treated. Gloria In a message dated 12/1/2010 6:49:27 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Thanks I am trying. He doesn't want to eat anything so I am forcing a little nutrical and subq ringers...so far today he seems a little better. He was able to sit up and I just went to class and he hasn't had a seizure since 6 this morning. I am hoping things are getting better. Thanks for all the well wishes. we go tomorrow morning for his bile acid test so he is fasting for 12 hrs.

I am giving him nutrical and trying to get him to eat the L/D. I have to try the low protein for now until I can get the bile test done. If it is a liver shunt and I keep feeding him protein his seizures will just keep getting worse. So...until then its low protein...if the test comes back negative for liver shunt then I will go raw for him. Did nugget get his bile acid tested? Did they say what caused his seizures? How did he act after his seizures? was he still eating? drinking?

If he does not...then get him on a raw diet. Raw is what really lessened Nugget's seizures...Nugget does not have liver shunt.

If I give him baby food he will get too much protein and it will make his body toxic. I do have lactulose and an antibiotic. But he had another seizure tonight...I am very worried for him.

I don't understand this. This is by all counts a crappy food to feed your animals so what is the reasoning behind this one? Just curious.
