No improvement

Once Kevin went to work this morning Sadie slept soundly in the bedroom on the floor. At times she breathed heavily, but she stayed in the bedroom while the other dogs were outside.

I went to get the Ford Escape's oil changed; the truck badly needed it. When I returned Sadie was sleeping on the shower tiles again.

Sadie had another seizure sometime between noon and 1:30pm when Eric and I left to go into town and when we returned she was lying on the garage floor near the door, catatonic. Her ears felt warm and she was wet on one side from having knocked over her water dish. She remained in the garage until Kevin came home around 4:30pm, when she got up and walked around outside. Kevin's arrival always got Sadie energized and today was no different.

But today Sadie didn't regain normalcy. After all her other 24-hour episodes she normally calmed down within 24 hours. It's now been close to 30 and she's still out of it, walking jerkily and staring into space. Her neck hurts where Minnie bit her, but we don't see any puncture wounds around the neck.

This is scary. Even Kevin said "If she doesn't get any better soon it's best we put her down."

No way.
