This morning, I woke to Cactus making odd noises in his crate. He does not ever do this and I knew something was wrong. It woke me right up and I rushed to his kennel. When I got there his whole topline was in a c shape- his head looked like it was thrown back and he was yelping in a long cryish way- a sound I had not heard anyways. I was saying, "Cactus, hey puppy, hey baby, good morning" trying to wake him up. Nothing worked and he kept his head back while making that sound. I gently pulled him out of his crate. As I got him to just outside the front of his kennel, his whole body went limp. He lay there and wet himself. I was still saying Cactus, honey, Cactus.... to no avail. I started to think I just watched my puppy die. I pulled him the rest of the way out from under the table (where his kennel is) and tried to make him stand. He was not awaking or waking up or something different so that I could see he was being alert. Again I thought he was dead. He fell over but I saw his eyes move or something that indicated he was gaining consciousness. I stood him up again and this time his fronts worked but not his back. So I let him lay there, talked more to him, and tried again. He stood and wobbly walked off.
I took him to the vet who told me he had a grand mal siezure, which is usually a symptom of something else. I am a single parent in school. I can and will stretch my budget to make him okay. It will just be an extra stessor. I am scared that I might lose my little guy. Who knew in three weeks he would steal my heart so completely?
I am also concerned about how to tell my breeder. I think this is not a good thing. I was going to send her the report from the vet but I do not know what to say. Any suggestions would be great. Also, any sympathy and encouragement is greatly needed. I am scared.
