Some of you might remember my post about the Husky, Kenna. She lives with a friend of mine. She had an odd health history... More is here http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67604
Anyway, she got a dose of Panacur, and her diarrhea cleared all up. This was about 3 weeks ago. She was doing wonderfully since then, but she wasn't gaining any weight. She was eating Canidae. We figure it's because it's a very high quality food, and she's a husky-- she burns lots of calories...
Anyway, Friday night, she got diarrhea again. Saturday, it was solid-- then Saturday night, it came back, and she began vomiting. Sunday, she vomited a few times in the morning, became more and more lethargic as the day went on, then finally started going into seizures. Very bad seizures.
We rushed her to emergency, where they gave her 4 doses of Valium to calm her down, then phenobarbital. At 8am Monday morning, we took her from there, to her daytime vet. They kept her all day, where she didn't have any seizures. Since they don't have anybody there overnight, they sent her home with us last night at 9pm. She's on Clavamox, Phenobarbital, and a calcium pill or something...
We took her back to my house, so we can take turns staying up to watch over her tonight. She's dizzy, can't walk straight, and is very, very lethargic. She's eating, drinking, and using the bathroom okay now. The emergency vet said that it looks like she was poisoned by something, and the daytime vet said it seemed epileptic since we couldn't find anything she could have got into.
I would think that if she was sick for 24 hours before hand, it's not epilepsy. The vet was like "Oh, I must have missed that in the report." Uh-Huh. Anyway, She had a low calcium level, but that was about it regarding her blood tests.
I'm worried sick about her, and I don't know what's wrong. Does this sound like anything anyone's heard of, except for ingesting something toxic? Do dogs usually pull through these kinds of things okay? Am I handling this right? If not advice, then encouraging words? I'm just so lost with this poor dog... She's resting peacefully in her crate by my feet right now.
