Fliegen

I am sad to report that my little pup, Fleigen the wonder-dog, all of 19 amazing years, is approaching the end of her road.

She has been suffering from occasional seizures which have suddenly increased as of Thursday night. Although my vet has prescribed anti-seizure meds, they are continuing and are starting to have longer lasting effects. We are waiting on blood tests to rule out any pathogens that could theoretically be the cause, although that is considered to be a longshot. The most likely prognosis is a brain tumour and if this is the case, the meds will not work. In that event, we would want to end her suffering as soon as possible. We are waiting until Monday at this point, short of anything catastrophic. If the meds don't take hold by that point and if the seizures continue to worsen, I will do the hard thing, but I think, the right thing.

Cross your fingers and say your prayers. She has been such a blessing.
