A Bad Night!

At about 1am we bolted out of bed because our dog Maddie was making horrible sounds. We found her at the foot of our bed, stiff as a board convulsing with blood all over the floor next to her mouth. Bob sat and rubbed her and comforted her through the what i believe was a seizure. The blood seemed to be from her chewing her tongue. It was horrible!

After the seizure was over we found that she had peed herself. We decided that i should give her a bath since we didn’t want peed and blood getting all over the house. After bathing her she acted like she had so much energy and ran around (driving Bob crazy).

Shortly after all of that Abby woke up and would cry anytime i tried to lay her down so i spent another night sleeping out on the couch holding her. I had to do the same thing the night before.

Abby’s fever felt pretty bad so i woke her up for some medicine and got a cold rag to keep on her head. I had hoped the fever wouldn’t be so bad last night since it felt like it was almost gone last night and she was up playing and having a good ol’time. Poor girl and dang teething!

So needless to say i hardly got any sleep last night and i was at 6:40am as well. This morning i have to get things ready to go down to the in-laws so i can go to my dentist appointment tomorrow.  Oh how i wish i didn’t have too! I’m worried about leaving Maddie. We have never left her that long before. She will have to stay in there all day until Bob gets home from work. I know she use to with the old owners but i wish she didn’t have to!

Say a prayer for our dog please? And Abby? If she has another seizure i think it would just be kindest to put her to sleep don’t you think? I don’t want her to live in pain…. makes me so sad! I cried last night watching her go through that.
