Hey Everyone, I hope someone on here as some advice/experience with anti seizure meds. My Little girl Chloe had a med emergency this week and has been put on Phenobarbital Elixir and Predisone..that being said it's prob best to give you guys the full story on what lead up to this..Sorry this is going to read like a book but here goes! Tuesday evening when I got home from work Chloe was not herself! She was acting like she had an upset tummy and was quiet and depressed crying out in pain when picked up etc....we took her to the vet and had her checked out and to our surprise the vet told us it wasn't her tummy but her neck! She had xrays done and they saw that she had compression in 3 vertebrae at the base of her neck, more than likely she has landed wrong when jumping off the couch, bumped herself running after a toy..basically a million different scenarios that could have caused it which has left us feeling so guilty not knowing how it happened. Wednesday lunchtime Chloe had a seizure, thank goodness I was at home! Wednesday afternoon the seizures became back to back..she was at the vets walking like she was drunk etc...anyhoo to make an extremely long story a little shorter she spent the rest of the week at the vets on meds and observation..no more seizures. She is to be crated or kept completely still for 4 weeks to prevent any further strain on her spine.
I got to bring her home Friday night and Saturday she has had diarrhea everywhere....looked online and its supposed to be a side effect of the meds. I am waiting on her vet to call me back on my emergency call but wanted to see in the meantime if anyone knows if this is normal when just starting out on the meds she has? And in the meantime anything natural that I could give her to help slow down the diarrhea...right now the baby is fast asleep.
