I am scheduled for a colonsoscopy tomorrow morning, and was 1/2 way through the 64 oz. of Miralax I had to consume for the prep.- Murray was lying next to me on the couch, keeping me company between trips to the bathroom.
He sat up, stared at the floor, fell off the couch, and after lying still for a few seconds started staggering around the room- his rear end went completely out from under him, and he fell.
Well, it was quite a trip to the vet! I was in a panic because I didn't know what was happening: didn't know if he had gotten into poison, was starting to torsion- I didn't even stop to get completely dressed- just picked him up and ran all 65 pounds of him to the car(I may need back surgery after this!), packed him on the seat, next to me, and raced to the clinic.
By the time we got there it was over. They took some blood and checked him out while I used their bathroom facilities a few times. He's sleeping now, and I've spent the last 2 hours reading the threads and articles on Cyberhound regarding seizures.
It's been an eventful evening. The articles and links on the Cyberhound site have really helped me understand better what happened.
I'm hoping this is a once and done episode.
