I think I am going to have to put Katie Jo to sleep today. We have an appointment with the vet at 2:45. She has had 12 seizures since 2:00 am last night and they seem to get worse every time. I feel so bad for her. When they are over she does not seem to have any recollection of them but she has been getting worse after each one. After the last one she could not even drink water because she would fall over when she tried.
So we called the vet and made an appointment and then all of sudden she seemed fine. It is like she knows. We are going to talk to the vet and see what he says is the best thing to do but I think since she is 15 I think probably the best thing is to let her go. I thought it would not be as hard with her since I know she is old and we have known this was coming but right now it does not seem easy.
We have had her for a little over a year and it feels like we have had her all her life. We love her so much! I just want to do the best thing for her. Ugh! These dogs have not made life easy the last few weeks. If it is not one dog it is the other.

Oh no! I'm so sorry :( *hug*
My dog is also 15 and has seizures. There are medications you can put her on, I don't know that you need to let her go just yet. Things that have helped: teeth cleaning, feeding chicken & rice, feeding "natural-ish" candy like licorice - it might be low blood sugar or some other dietary thing. Make sure the vet thinks about ALL the options, seizures are usually treatable.
Oh Michelle... I am so sorry... Sending lots of prayers for you and your sweet pooch.
I am so sorry... It is never easy...
