Norwood's Incorrigible AKC DL79662505 / NASD 69356
Source of information: Shirley Tipsword (owner)
Age of Onset: Around 4 years Diagnostics: General blood work panels for tick borne and fungal diseases. He was positive for Lyme. Other Information: From a litter of 5; 4 had seizures, both parents had previously been bred to other partners and produced no problems. He was a minimally vaccinated, raw-fed dog. |
Disease Progression: He started with a single seizure every month of so. Within two years progressed to clusters of 2 or 3, up to 20 seizures over a 1 to 3 day period every 3 to 4 weeks. A few times, during extreme seizure episodes, he would spike a fever of greater than 104 that would require hospitalization. He had one episode of status epilepticus that I was able to bring him out of using IV valium. Eventually Pheno and KBr blood levels maxed out leaving him ataxic and withdrawn.
The anti-seizure medications caused him to have a ferocious appetite and he would eat anything, even non-edibles. About a year after onset of seizures he needed surgery for an intestinal obstruction. After that he had to wear a basket muzzle most of the time to keep him from ingesting things. At ten years of age, after 6 years of poorly controlled seizures, he obstructed again and I opted for euthanasia rather than another surgery. Treatment: Phenobarbital and Potassium Bromide in increasing dosages as the disease progressed. At one point added Gabapentin with no improvement. I also used the rectal valium protocol with him to break clusters. |
