Sheesh... poor girl... Have you been able to find any "trigger" that
causes the seizures? I keep a journal of his seizures and such but
have yet to find something that triggers them. (Like loud noises,
after a meal, after a bowel movement, etc.) It's just random. It
sounds cheesy, I know, but please give her a hug from me.

Isn't that the truth. I hope Pertwee comes around and starts gaining
weight. It's scary to see them lose weight like that and then not be
able to pack it back on. Have you tried using Stat in your soup or
anything like that? Just a thought. Good luck with him...

Well, at least someone is healthy! It figures it would be the old
guys! (knock on wood, I don't wanna jinx you.)

Yes, I will. And you too... Happy Holidays... :]
