Rough Night.....

I was almost done cooking dinner last night when Hubs told me to come see what Buerly was doing. When I walked into the room he was laying on the floor stretching, or so we thought. All of a sudden he started thrashing and convulsing, his legs locked and he couldn't move. My heart instantly sank into my stomach because deep down inside I knew what was going on. Hubs and I ran to Buerly as fast as we could. The sheer look of terror in his eyes absolutely broke my heart.

Thank goodness Hubs remained calm because I totally lost my head. I ran around like an idiot grabbing the medications that Buerly is on, recent vet records, and anything else I thought we might need while Hubs attempted to keep Buerly calm. I was in freak out mode. We put Rooney in his crate and loaded Buerly into the car to rush to the animal emergency hospital.

All that crazy running around didn't pay off. In the end I forgot everything; my purse, the medications, and his vet records. Eff! After meeting with the vet it was confirmed that Buerly had had a seizure {one of the scariest things you will ever witness}. Now the question is whether this was an isolated incident, allergic reaction to medication or the early start of epilepsy (worst case scenario). The vet insisted that they keep him overnight for observation in case he had another seizure.

It was so weird walking into the house to one dog. Rooney was in a panic hunting everywhere for his big brother. He ran from room to room, eventually he sat down with the most confused look on his face.

Sleeping last night was impossible. Rooney was up every hour wandering around the room looking for his best friend. He eventually gave up and curled up on Buerly's pillow to sleep. I couldn't get the look of terror Buerly had in his eyes out of my mind and I know Hubs was probably the same way.

As of this morning I am still waiting on the emergency hospital to call. We are praying that he did not have a second seizure and that we can pick him up ASAP! Buerly is like a child to us, he is our furbaby. We just want to get him home, love on him and spoil him rotten. Hopefully I will have a good update soon!

My squishy faces! Oh how we love these two!
