Just PMed you, it was actually Alpine (signature pic) that had it

Karo syrup can be found in the baking aisle of most stores. Hope Asia is ok, sorry u have to wait until Monday to find out more.

Hoping Asia is okay. Wishing you guys the best.. sending hugs your way.

I had a cat that developed epilepsy. She was on medication for a long time with no problems, after awhile I tried a short time without medication and even without there were no more epilepsy problems for the rest of her life.

Hope they can get to the bottom of what's happening. One simple neuro test you can do is this. Support her weight with your arm just in front of the rear legs but keep her paws on the ground. Then pick up one leg and turn her paw where the top of the foot is touching the ground then let go. If she replaces it on her own that's a good thing. Do other leg the same. This rules out a lot of spinal / disc issues. You can do the same just behind the front legs but things in this area little different neuro wise than the rear.

You know, I really wouldn't doubt hypoglycemia. As a diabetic, when my sugar drops, the symptoms remind me if when I see people drunk/high. My eyes are glazy, I shake a lot, I feel so weak I just usually lay somewhere looking like I'm on the verge of death, if it's low enough I'm pretty incoherent and sort of feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience.
The throwing up, I couldn't tell you why that happened, but could be part of the reason why his levels dropped.

I sure hope you can get asia fixed up soon and that its nothing to bad. Been trying to keep up on this thread on the trip.

Thanks for the support guys! As always you're awesome!

Brian, Kristina actually told me to do that when it first occurred (night before last) and she did flip her paws back into place I only did the front though...not the back. I HOPE it doesn't happen again tonight, but if it does I'll try the back.

Heather, girl, I HOPE it's hypoglycemia. Not that it's good by any means, but I prefer that over epilepsy!

Right now she's chewing away at her marrow bone. Switching rooms every few minutes

I was thinking Epilepsy last night after seeing the videos...

Yup. I agree. Epilepsy was my first thought.

So sorry to hear this Mel! Keep us posted and give Asia some hugs for me!

Poor Asia. I hope your vet can work it out and she gets better soon.

I really really hope everything works out

Best of luck Mel!

Bodhi sends woo-woos.

Thanks guys! Hugs and woos given

I have diabetes and epilepsy, not sure which one I'd prefer, haha. I dislike my diabetes more since it's life threatening but having diabetes and having hypoglycemia are two different things. I hope it's really nothing and just some odd off moments! I wish they could get lab results for everything within a few minutes.

If its Hypoglycemia, will you have to giver her shots everyday? The meds for seizures are pretty inexpensive and easy to give if it is Epilepsy. I'm hoping for the best possible outcome for Asia!

You don't give shots for hypoglycemia. Only actual diabetics are given shots to correct their blood sugar and it's for when they get hyperglycemia. She'd just need to be given Glucose paste, syrup, honey, PB to help her levels rise back up.

No meds then? That's good!

Yeah, no meds is good! Fingers crossed that it's nothing too serious! So far nothing tonight. I don't want to jinx it though!

I'm following her all over the house every time she moves!

I'm so glad neither of my dogs have never had anything really off about them, I'd be a psycho! Asia would be tethered to me lmao

Sorry to hear you have no definite answer yet. Hopefully her bloodwork comes back ok!

sending Asia prayers.....

She didn't have an episode last night and has been fine this morning. Wrestling with Kody and went on walk. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed, Melissa! I know what a nervous wreck I am if anything is "off" about my dogs, hang in there! *hugs*

Fingers and paws crossed for the blood work test tomorrow! Wishing the best for you.
