Bear (seizures) is now at Peace <3

[Petunia]

sending mega prayers and positive vibes for him and you too.

Yikes, that's a bad one... Hope the melatonin is the final piece of the puzzle. Need to meditate later - will send positive vibes and images of good health your and his way.

Bear seemed agitated last night but never had a seizure...had his 2nd dose of melatonin, and his pheno "treat". I unfortunately had to deal with one of my older rats seizing all night long...I mean really Rat Gods?? I know you like to challenge me sometimes but this felt cruel.

For educations sake, I am going to post 26 mo old Noors seizure video...he actually seizures similarly to Bear...the lip curl and one paw batting...poor loves.

You need injectable Diazepam (or Lorazepam) to break the seizure cycle. Maybe Dr.Munn would give you some if he saw this video. Status epilepticus is life-threatening.

I didnt have anything injectable so had to watch him seize from 8 pm to 4 am, then I got him to swallow phenobarbital and gave him 10 cc's of fluids, unfortunately he passed at 2 am last night

I'm so sorry about Noor, Shelagh He knew how loved he was, having you by his side.
Play hard at the bridge, Noor :flowers3:

{{{{{{Shelagh}}}}}}
I am so sorry

 

[Joanne]

8 hours of seizing is just heartbreaking. I'm sorry you and Noors had to go through that.
:hugs:

 

[Godmother]

Poor sweet Noor. I am glad that Bear seems to be doing better.

 

[lilspaz68]

Bear actually isn't. He's had 5 seizures today that I know of (I went out a few hours) but did manage to get a full seizure on video, which I'll upload and post tomorrow.

 

[lilspaz68]

Lots more seizures, I have Karen from the Ratguide trying to get us tty hough. We had to do a 2nd bolus of phenobarb at 4 mg/kg and it's been 17 mins since his last seizure...keep your fingers crossed

Poor baby! Hopefully the vet can figure out something for him

 

[Anain]

Such a horrible sight. I nearly cried when I watched that vid. I really really hope he will get better soon!!

Oh Ubuntu Bear had a good night on Tuesday night, with seizures every 2 hours or more but last night wasn't great with seizures every 30 mins on average. I unfortunately fell asleep so only got the pattern for part of the night. This morning I pulled him out for more observation and poor Bear had seizures at 6:52, 6:55 and 7 am. I am continuing to watch him carefully
Pray the potassium bromide comesbin today.
