Fling AKC DN03071201 / ABC 206610
Source of information: Caryl Ricca (owner)
Age of Onset: 3 years Diagnostics: Fling was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy at the Colorado State University (CSU) Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Fort Collins. He had a CT scan of his brain, a spinal tap, abdominal ultrasound, full blood panel, and complete neurological workup. He became a case study in the Neurology Department at CSU under Dr. Paul Cuddon. |
Disease Progression: Fling had 100 documented grand mal seizures in 4 1/2 years. His seizures became more frequent as time went by. Fling was euthanized at age 7 1/2 years after seizure number 100. The weekend he died, he was cluster seizing and was hospitalized. He no longer recognized me and was unresponsive. Fling was previously a happy, playful dog and had always recovered from his seizures with his personality intact. It was as if his brain was erased after this last cluster event, and he was left with a blank expression. I was left heartbroken...still am.
Treatment: We tried Felbatol, phenobarbital, potassium bromide, Keppra, gabapentin, liquid valium...we tried everything recommend by the neurologist. We also tried acupuncture. Nothing worked. |
