Sydney is in the ICU area at the vet’s; we rushed him over yesterday just about noon when he had a seizure; the vet was about ready to close but waited for us. He worked on him for a good hour and 20 minutes – valium, IV fluid, medicine to reduce swelling in the brain and lidocaine to control the PVC’s his heart was throwing. He had several EKG’s, two X-rays and blood draws.

The vet had been scheduled to make a farm call and after Sydney seemed to stabilize, he left for about 45 minutes while we sat with Sydney.

His first question when he returned was to ask if Sydney had started to come round and tried to sit up; he had not. He was still rigid and trembling. More lidocaine, valium and then lidocaine introduced into the fluid bag.

We think he is in no  pain and we are waiting and watching. There was no change today so far and if he does not come around by Tuesday morning, well, we will do what we feel is best.

We are thankful that Sydney was in Der Bingle’s arms from just after the seizure started until we reached the vet’s.
