Kelliwic Nessy ABC 261764
Source of information: Andrew Weiss (owner)
Age of Onset: 3 years Diagnostics: We worked with Dr. Glass in Neurology at Red Bank Animal Hospital. Several tests were performed on blood and organs to rule out any malfunctions. There was no signs or knowledge of any trauma however a brain scan was not performed. |
Disease Progression: All of Nessy's seizures are grand maul. The convulsions last from 1-3 minutes with an additional 3-5 minutes in the post stage (unconscious and erratic breathing). When she comes to she's confused and clumsy and spends a few minutes walking in circles. Seizure frequency changed over the years. At first they were once a month +- a week or two. Then over time as we gained control we would go several months, however then we she had a seizure should would cluster having 4-10 seizures in only a few days. That was a rough time because the quantity of seizures caused her to regress mentally. But as always over time her wits came back. By the age of 8-9 we gained ideal control over the seizures and we have been able to go up to 12 months without an episode
Treatment: We have been able to control Nessy's seizures through a combination of Potassium Bromide and Phenobarbital. We were not able to gain control until after we enforced a strict regimented diet. While she eats normal kibble combined with JD medicated kibble, it wasn't until we became extremely consistent on food (e.g. no scraps, treats and absolutely nothing with salt) that the medicines began to work. Turns out one piece of sympathy bacon was discharging all of the salt based medicine. These medicines have caused her to have an unhealthy appetite so it's very important that we keep food under control. |
