Aw many thanks to you All for all your lovely messages to me and Loki. I do appreciate each one very much.
Well, in total, Loki took 4. She had one about 2 am, then at 3.20 am another and this time I called the emergency number I got from my vet's message on his answering machine, it was the PDSA hospital, where Loki was taken last year when she took 16 clusters. I wanted to know if it was OK to give her the 2nd Rectal Diazepam as I had given her one during the first fit. They told me it was OK to do so, so I did, she was just out of the fit but I was able to give it to her with no problem at all. It was a bit scary for me as I was frightened I would hurt her but she was great! She fell asleep and I sat on my pc until about 6 am and I thought I would try to get a snooze, I fell asleep on the settee and was wakened up (I was really only dozing) when Loki took another - she was in her crate still. I opened the crate door and held her as best I could and she came out of the fit within a minute.
I called the vet at 9 am and spoke to the vet nurse/receptionist and I asked if I could have some more Rectal Diazepam. I am getting 5 more tubes so will collect them later this afternoon. The vet also told me to give her an extra Phenobarb in the mornings until the fits clear, so she now gets 3 phenos in the morning and 2 in the evening! So she got 3 phenos this morning along with her potassium bromide and Milk Thistle. She is a wee trooper and opens her mouth wide for me to pop the tablets down!
I have had her walking up and down the hall and out on the veranda and now she is back in her crate - went in by herself - and she is sleeping, now and not panting as bad as she was.
Again, everyone, many thanks for all your lovely messages of support. Loki says she thanks you as well.
I am just so tired!! The parrots are as well!! They didn't get much sleep during the night and PJ is still sleeping, Soochie is being her normal self - biting the bottom of her cage driving me mad
Take care all
