We were so thankful that Penny was seizure-free from April 11 through the month of May. Unfortunately, we discovered evidence of a seizure Friday night when we returned home from town. She woke Eric up at 4:30 am Saturday morning having a seizure, then had a second one at 10 am. Dr. Hester told me to increase her medication from every 12 hours to every 8 hours. So far, there haven’t been any long-term side effects. Prayers for our girl would be appreciated.

Update on Skipper

Someone’s missing his buddy🥺

Thank you all so much for all the thoughts and prayers. They are soooo needed right now💜

I picked up Skipper this morning from the ER vet to take him back to our regular vet, who doesn’t keep the animals overnight. He was happy to be outside in the air and even watched a bird fly by, but inside the car he is still not himself at all. His blood pressure, which was very high yesterday (systolic over 200) was stable in the night, so they didn’t have to give him the meds they planned after all. He is being given IV fluids and antibiotic support throughout the day and night. They plan on rerunning the bloodwork this afternoon to see if there’s been any improvement in his kidney values. The ER vet stated this morning that he has a UTI, but I haven’t heard from our own vet if this is a contributor or cause of the current state of his kidneys. Hopefully we’ll know more by the end of the day. I’ll update later when I get more information. In the meantime, keep the thoughts and prayers coming. He very much still needs them❤️💜🩷

Pray for Skipper.

Everyone….

Skipper got sick over the weekend and is now in the vet hospital in critical condition. It’s his kidneys. I don’t know much more than this as they’re still trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Vet says he has a 50/50 chance of making it through this, and that the next 24-48 hours are critical. Please pray for him, or send thoughts out into the universe that he will be okay. This has come out of left field and we feel like we’re living a nightmare. I’ll let you know more as I learn it😢😥
