Gabe

This is our friend C. vacuuming our dog Gabe.

Every time C. comes down from Redding with girlfriend S. She helps us figure out the most direct and simple ways to care for our brood of 4 legged creatures.

This particular problem....shedding of hair.

Gabe has been having seizures for the last year or so. But recently she started having 2-3 a day. Really short ones. The first seizures she had were quite long (15-20 minutes). And she would only have one in a day. Most times those episodes would be months apart. Now they're about 3-6 minutes long and she's having them everyday.

We've been researching dog seizures on the net but it really could be attributed to a million different things. Heredity, Food allergies, cancer, low sodium, the car accident she was in before we got her from the rescue agency, etc...

Poor Gabe. She's our alpha dog. She runs our little pack. I know the loss of control is hard for her.

Tomorrow is her vet appointment with our favorite SPCA Doc. The prognosis is probably not going to be very good. One thing I did find in the research we did is that when seizures start to cluster --that is not a good sign. And since Kimm and I are not millionaires we can only do so much for her. But we will do everything we can for our little G.
