Pam, thanks for the information. It will give Peggy something to look into and ask her vet about. I hope it helps that precious Gigi.

I have a lot of 2 cents to pass around tonight. :) Gigi's symptoms sound like classic complex focal seizures. Don't mean to be bossy, just been a nurse for a long, long time. I think she would would greatly benefit from medication, but she may be drowsy until she gets used to it. I don't know the relationship is between anesthesia and complex focal seizures, but if I were a betting person. That's what it is, and responds well to treatment.

Makes her confused... like in outer space, then sleeps. I feel really bad for you and poor Gigi. I was once married to a guy who had seizures. He had the grand mal ones. He would yell, fall, shake, etc... then fall asleep right where he was and snore really loud. I would wake him up and get him to bed. He always looked so dazed, and out of it when I was walking him to bed. He would sleep the rest of the day and most of the night. He would tell me when he woke up after sleeping all day that he remembers nothing. "My Chihuahua Ricky, Is A Heartbeat At My Feet."

She is constantly smelling everything! Even on my lap, she can't seem to settle down and stop looking at her back,wiggling a lot because she can't sit still, and then she stops and just stares at my shirt with that blank look in her eyes again. If I put her down on the floor she does the same thing with everything in site. She is really having a hard time of it today. This is so pathetic! Then after about 5 minutes of this, the only peace she seems to have is when she falls to sleep, and it does seem to knock her out too. We had four days without any real episodes and it was so wonderful to see her tail up and wagging so much, and playing and running. Now it's like it was before again. It's heartbreaking. I really think that these are those weird type of seizures that I read about. I am going to be watching her real close all night and hopefully it will stop again. She needs some Paw Prayers my friends....
