Snuffy

Our sweet Snuffy is not responding to medication. She is still having seizures during the night and now during the day as well. Most nights are now 4-5 seizures (the most was 7) and most days have 2 seizures (the most was 4).

It is certainly discouraging that she is getting worse even while on anti-seizure meds. This may mean brain tumor but I am trying to hold off thinking that until she is on the meds longer.

The hardest part about loving a dog is that it hurts when you have to say goodbye. It's not time, yet. I have been snapping photos of her, trying to catch her at her good moments. She looks tired but she is still so pretty and sweet.

Snuffy, while she may be suffering from seizures - is surrounded by love, care, and concern. She could be in no better place.

Crossing my fingers the meds kick in today.

It is awful when we have to make the decision to say goodbye or not: it doesnt matter the pet or the type of animal. It breaks my heart each and every time..and yet we still have other pets. I guess the price of love is the loss, something we have had to come to terms with this past few years. She is so loved: I would be worried if it wasnt a hard decision. I will be holding your hand from afar if this is a decision you do indeed need to make xxxxxxxx
