The First Conkers & Percy has a Seizure


The first two conkers of the season!  


They tell us that Autumn really must be on its way despite my denial.


The weather has been warm today and it was a lovely morning.  

We had to take our little Percy to the vet this morning as he had a small seizure last night.  It didn't last long, but he had seemed a bit 'off' all day, rather unsure and unsteady on his feet.  Whether this means that he had had one the previous night we don't know.  The vet said to keep an eye on him.  The first port of call will be to have blood tests done, but as these were last done in March when he went blind he said they probably wouldn't be much different but if he doesn't come right then to have them done first to rule out anything systematic. If they are right and he continues to have seizures then he will need some scans as he is a very young dog to have gone blind suddenly AND then to start having seizures.  We are so hoping it was a one off.  He has handled his blindness amazingly well and has been a little superstar so to see him suddenly not right is very worrying.  He has had lots of cuddles today.


My orchid is looking lovely in my room.

  2. A seizure. How scary. I hope Percy is better and doesn't have a repeat episode.

  3. I'm glad that Percy is handling his blindness well. I hope the seizure is a one-off. The conkers are beauties. They take me back a bit (a lot actually).
