Many thanks for all the kind words and support for Loki - and me I do appreciate each one.

So far, and with fingers crossed, no more fits since 2.30 pm yesterday! I used one Rectal Diacaepam and that helped break the clusters. She slept most of the afternoon and evening in the kitchenette. Still in there when I went to bed, woke me up scratching the cupboard doors in the kitchenette - 2 am! Got up and I knew she was trying to stand up, her legs just kept falling down again - tiles on floor not good for her to grip on! Ever try moving a 45.5 k bundle of joy. I have and took me nearly 2 hours of huffing and puffing and poor Loki looking at me with those eyes of hers! Managed to get her to the door and from there she was fine - she wanted the loo. She did what she had to do and I then went to put the toilet pads into a sack, then realised she had just gone back into the kitchette again! Got her loo cleaned and out onto the veranda for taking down this morning.

Early this morning again - same things - she couldn't get up for the loo so again had to help her, got a large towel under her belly and pulled her to the door, from there is was OK she got up and went to her loo! She is so good and has never had accidents after her fits, keeps everything in until she can go to her toilet!

Got the kitchenette and bathroom doors shut now, so she is lying sleeping and quietly at that, the panting has stopped, in her beside me - even the parrots are keeping quiet for her!

Many thanks again folks for all your lovely messages for Loki and I. I do appreciate each one.

Take care

Rose and Loki xx

That sounds promising Rosemary hoping to hear more good news at the next update.

Just picked up this thread Rose ... so sorry to hear about Loki. Fingers x'd that the fits cease once more. Big hugs from me and the boys xx

That sounds good Rose. As the fits started on Monday I would not expect her to have any more now, if, like Loki, there seems to be a period of time during which she will just keep fitting but it stops then.

I'm so sorry to hear of you struggling to help her get to the toilet. You do a wonderful job of caring for Loki.

Lots of hugs and cuddles from us all here xxxxxx

Malka I don't work for or have any interest in B&J ice cream and I wouldn't dream of touting it as a wonder cure. Having had 2 EPI dogs myself I wanted to give something to settle them after a fit and it was additive free. One of my dogs was fit free and had no medication or treatment for 5 years but I never considered him cured (unfortunately).

Thinking of you both xx

I am so pleased that dear Loki is calm at present. What a wonderful Mummy/carer you are to her. Everything crossed that she continues to stay seizure free.

Hi twix

You might be interested in this from CEN, which says that low blood sugar may cause a seizure in some dogs and some vets like to give honey or corn sugar to quickly bring the blood sugar levels up after a fit, if they suspect that low levels caused it.

I got into the habit of giving Loki a small spoonful of ice-cream every night to raise blood sugar levels just in case and now he demands it every night.

Loki is now at the sniffing stage! When I cuddle her all she wants to do is sniff my face and hair, bless her. She looks at Soochie and PJ as though she forgot about them and the noise they can make! Soochie was asking her to get her ball but Loki just turned away

So fingers still crossed that she will have a good night tonight - and I've kept both bathroom and kitchenette doors closed!! At the moment she has gone into my bedroom and lay on her mat - so hope she stays there!

Thanks again everyone.

Take care.
