My poor Toby :(

My poor Toby had an epileptic fit this morning at 5:30. I just can't believe it happened.The seizure lasted about 4 minutes but of course it seemed much longer. Even if I am used to those situations, it hurts and aches so much each time. As some of you know, my daughter Jennifer and my mom have an epilepsy. I have been living in fear of a phone call for so many years... you know, a call from the hospital. It happened so many times. Last month, my poor mommy had 3 fits within a few hours, it is still very painful to talk about this right now.

I can't admit that my doggie is now in the same pathology, I don't even understand why this happened to him.

Of course we saw the vet this morning, he said that this could happen once in a life with no explanation. If it happens again (hope it will NEVER happen again) Toby will have to get a medication for epilepsy. Since autumn he has had medication for bronchitis. I told the vet that his coughing has increased for a week (I had planned to go to the vet at the end of this week. He made x-rays which showed Toby's lungs are in a poor condition (same as last October), blood test was OK, temperature too. So Toby has to take antibiotics for 12 days and go on taking costicosteroids. If the coughing persists, we'll have to get an appointment with a lungs specialist in an other town (Annecy).

I think Toby had this seizure because he is tired because of his cough. Well, it's just an idea.

Thank you for reading me, I feel very very upset and miserable.

I'll keep you updated.
