Not more fits, they are a dreaded curse!
I really feel so sorry for you and Loki, I really do. I expect it will be a worrying night for you.
Please, take good care of both of you, I hope this is the last of the fits for tonight.
Aw that is OK - you weren't to know!!
I do appreciate your good wishes and will let you know how she gets on during the night. She had another one at 1 am.
Thanks again for your wishes.

Many thanks Dori-katie. Your hugs gratefully received by Loki. It is sole destroying seeing dogs in fits thrashing around. I try to cushion her as much as possible, especially her head. She is so strong, she nearly bowled me over!!
Again, thank you.

Hope Loki has a peaceful and fit- free night and that you manage to get some sleep, I know you probably won't and will have one eye open and one yar listening just incase.
Goodnight and God Bless to both you and Loki. and big comforting hugs.
Speak soon Rose. Eunice xx
Aw many thanks Eunice for your support as well. I appreciate it very much. Well, she did take a fit at 1 am and has had another bowl of kibble with warm water in it to soften the kibble for easy eating and she scoffed the lot, more ice cream and half a large bowl of water!! Def need to put her on a diet!! I will phone the vet later today if her fits are as bad. He may take her in as he did last time. Expensive but Loki is worth it. Pity I can't pass on the expense to the original breeder!!
Again, thank you and take care. Chat soon.

Thank you very much, mse2ponder, yes it was a longer stretch and for that I am grateful. I am hoping Loki will sleep but she is a bit restless and so, no sleep for me tonight. It is awful to see them in a fit, sole destroying.
Many thanks for the hugs - we both appreciate them.
Take care.

Do not despair, you are not alone. I just wish I could do more than send positive messages.
Unfortunately many of the breeders don't give a stuff once they've made their profit - as I found out for certain tonight with my dog's breeder, who accused me of being cruel for 'prolonging the agony' of my epileptic dog - who has a wonderful quality of life, despite the epilepsy. This only leaves a support mechanism of dog owners.
You and Loki have that Rose - always.

Oh Linda how cruel of that breeder. She wouldn't be saying that if she saw our dogs in the throes of fits. I appreciate all the support I get on here and on the TUA.
Breeders who knowingly breed from dogs with epilepsy should be named and shamed. The RSPCA should become involved!! Perhaps one day!!
Hugs to your Loki from me and from her coz Lady Loki
Take care and thank you for your lovely words as well.

I know how upsetting it can be so big hugs and a special one for Loki from 'your' Breagh.
Many thanks, Phil, and you are right it was a while - May 19was her last fits when she had 24 in total and I got her into the vet hospital. Her last one was 1 am. That was her 10th since 4 pm Sunday! Fingers crossed she may sleep now. Doubt if I will sitting up here in the living room with my two yacking parrots!! They are both still awake.
Many thanks for the hugs and for Loki's special one from my Breagh, she is beautiful. Hugs and cuddles back to her.
Take care.
