169 Days

since Kona’s last seizure. He is doing great. His back-end weakness is also getting better. We have dropped his dose of potassium bromide down substantially which is what we believe was the major contributor to his weakness. He also has gone to the vet twice in the last two weeks for acupuncture. He is such a cooperative boy. Mrrad took him last Friday and said he just laid there and put his head in mrrad’s lap while he was chilling out. the vet also gave him a B12 shot. When I got home after 9 on Friday night Kona jumped up and came over to greet me, usually he barely raises his head. He is not nearly as sedated. He only has occassional weakness now, usually after a long walk when he is really tired. He is having what they call focal seizures, which is more like a tremor or an uncontrolled movement of a body part. For Kona it is a tremor on his chin. It doesn’t last long and if we call his name he “comes out of it” and its fine. I can live with those type of events. Much easier to handle than the full blown grand mal seizures which are so frightening. His eyes are bright now and he seems to have his “puppy” back.
