Two Little Things
Jan. 27th, 2008 07:46 amFirst... sorry Michelle! ;o; I know I was supposed to be online last night so we could finish up that twins log, but I ah... slept all day instead. >>; The two days/nights before that were really long and tiring between one thing and another (not to mention I didn't sleep Wed night at all because of Pagan), and my CFS was all 'RAWR D<' so yeah. Imma go do a tag for you right as soon as I finish this post!
Second! Yesterday morning I dropped off a stool sample at the vet so it could be tested for Pasturella and Coccidiosis. Then last night Dr. Adare called to talk to me about Pagan and his mystery seizures.
Basically, he tested negative for everything, which is awesome, except it means we still have no clue what caused the seizures. So. She went home the night after I brought him in and went through all of her text books looking for something that can cause the symptoms I described. Aside from a couple of exotic diseases (like, in rabbits in Africa, etc., and which Pagan would have no way of contracting), the only thing she could come up with is possibly a magnesium or vitamin A and/or B deficciency.
So she suggested giving him vitamin suppliments in his water, and extra alfalfa (which is high in magnesium), and seeing how it goes. Pagan thinks he's special and getting extra treats, lol, and even if that's not what the problem is, some extra vitamins and hay won't hurt him.Phantom is quite upset though, she wants treats too dammit Mom!
Aaaand if he has seizures again, I'm supposed to call Dr. Adare and bring him in immediately. But that's the problem, aside from testing for the typical things, they can't do much unless he happens to have a fit while he's there and she's looking at him. -.-; Bah.
But he seems fine now, and is omgyeyhappy about the alfalfa chews I bought for him. xD; <3
