#canineepilepsy

We got some news thats probs just exciting to #canineepilepsy humans, but Joan's been seizure free for a year (again) & with her latest KBr levels coming back high, we're going to REDUCE her dosage from 1125mg to 750mg.😱 I promise you, this is riviting news over here. As Joan ages, my hope is to be able to lower the amount of medication she's been on since 2yo. Its been 9+ years of medication for this Derpina (amongst other ailments).😅 Anyways, l'm asking for ✨good vibes✨ for Miss Joan O'Brien that we continue to have a good ~seizure free~ year. Also, can't forget the amazing teams at @southeastveterinaryneurology @helpetmiami & @vcaknowlescentral for helping to get us here. 🤍 | #JoanDerp . . . #greyhound #greyhounds #greyhoundsofflorida #greyhoundsofmiami #greyhoundrescue #greyhoundlove #greyhoundlife #greyhoundcorner #greyhoundsofig #greyhoundsofinstagram #longdoggo #longdoggosclub #ratemydog #weeklyfluff #ruffpost #canineepilepsyawareness #canineepilepsywarrior (at Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2gpuOumbT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#CanineEpilepsy ain’t easy. We went 10 months without a seizure (new record!) until this past Thursday night. Lemme tell you, this time the “monster” was pretty ugly. The hardest part is how Joan isn’t “Joan” after an episode of cluster seizures. She paces around, whining and barking. She can’t get comfortable and forgets where her beds are. She’s anxious, panting, confused, and highly stressed. There isn’t much I can do for her when she’s like this except give her love and patience. I know she’s be the derpy Joan I know in a day or two. Until then, Joan can sport these pretty rad bandages and have all the naps she wants. | #JoanDerp (at Coral Gate) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4_Tz6jBFQG/?igshid=1kqwyvpp9fjf1

If you have a pup with epilepsy, I bet your medicine cabinet looks a lot like mine. 😅 I’ve seen milk thistle talked about a lot in my #canineepilepsy support groups to add into the daily routine to help support a healthy liver & kidney function. I’ve been using @mywonderpaws for a couple of weeks & so far so good! Joan doesn’t notice the taste (win) & the dropper makes it easy to administer. The real test will be the next time we’re due for a levels check … | #joanderp @mywonderpaws #wonderpaws #wonderpawspartner #dogmom #dogtreats #dogtreatsfordays #healthypup #dogsupplements #healthydogs #healthydog (at Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBk4EoOv_p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its no secret that because of #canineepilepsy Miss Joan is on quite a few medications. Some days its a little tougher on her system than others so I’ve always dabbled in probiotics to help the discomfort that comes with it. Recently we’ve given @nutripaws Digestive Probiotic Bites a try & Joan has given it two paws up. 🐾❤️ So far, its working well for us, more convenient than probiotic powders, and Joan will actually eat it. Win/win. 🏆 . . . . . #nutripaws #nutripawspartner #greyhound #greyt #greyhoundz #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundrescue #greyhoundcorner #greyhoundcuteness #retiredracer #greyhoundsmakegreatpets #greyhoundsofmiami #greyhoundsofsouthflorida (at Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZMsLlKuVLN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bond is very studiously ignoring Mama's breakfast. "What breakfast?" he drools. "I don't see any breakfast...," he drools. . #WahioVagabond #RescuedDogsRock #EpilepsySucks #CanineEpilepsy #EpilepticDog #SeizuresSuck #WhatBreakfast #IDontSeeAnyBreakfast #GoodDog #Drooling #DroolingDog (at Wahio Walkabout) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7i5_e0ho_X/?igshid=nmjwl6aqgwlu
