I haven't been around in awhile but just wanted to update anyone who is interested in how Eddie, my Lab, has been doing.
Sadly, April 24th he had another episode. It was the first time that after that he seemed disoriented to the point to that I don't think he knew who I was. I ran to him and by the time I got to him it was over. But when I reached out my hand to him slowly, he shied away from me.
He goes to the vet next month and I have a few things I want to discuss with him. Namely, plants. It seems like a possibility to me considering that the last episode that he had was last July. He was fine all winter long, then when it starts to warm up he has one again. I don't use any chemicals on our property, namely because we have a well and anything we'd put on our yard would go into the water. The only thing that we have used recently was something to kill Carpenter Bees. I've even thought that he could be eating dead bees that were killed using the spray that we used even though we make sure to sweep up and dispose any that fall on the ground dead. Another thing that I want to talk with him about is whether heat induced seizures could be a possibility. And lastly, I want the vet to see if there is anything wrong with Eddie's throat. In all the episodes that he's had, that I've seen, he always vomits. My boyfriend has speculated that really all Eddie has to do is vomit and it gets stuck in his throat, cutting off his airway, thus the stumbling around, etc that Eddie does; that in reality its not a seizure at all but that he's just to the point that's he's going to pass out from a blocked airway.
So I thought that I'd just update to let everyone know what is going on with Eddie.
