We saw the holistic vet yesterday regarding the seizures that Brawt has been having. I will sum it up with .... it was an experience but I think good things may come of this.
She (Dr. McNeill) is a very nice lady who seems very knowledge and shows concern and interest in what is going on with your pet. She is totally supportive of the raw diet and doing titers on everything but rabies.
Dr. McNeill said that the seizures he is having aren't of the typical pattern you see in epileptic dogs and she feels that he is having a reaction to something, but isn't exactly sure what it is.
Dr. McNeill said that he has a viral infection (his WBC was low in June and vet showed no concern) and most likely has had it for several months. Infections can cause seizures so she gave him some Immune booster to help his body fight the infection and a liquid to help get rid of the side effects from the vaccination (he got in June) because she also thinks he is having a small reaction from that as well. She also did some muscle testing on him and did a treatment of laser acupuncture on him. He was very anxious about being on the table and such but once she started the acupuncture he got so still and very calm.
I had never really thought about it until she put it all in a time line but his seizures have gotten worse (and more frequent) since June which is when his WBC was low and he got his vaccine.
He has to go back next week for a check up and another treatment of acupuncture if needed. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated -- thanks for all the support and positive thoughts.
