Ben took Coop to the vet yesterday.
We were pretty sure that he had a urinary tract infection, plus he needed an update on some medicine.
They did an x-ray and it turns out he has kidney stones.
That's a rough one, but it's manageable.
He looked like he was in great shape, otherwise.
Today, however, he had a seizure.
It came from out of nowhere.
It was so very scary, but I'm grateful that I was home with him.
Ben rushed home and we took him to the vet right away.
She told us that it was most likely either caused by one of his organs shutting down (worse case scenario) or a tumor on the brain (usually they're slow growing).
That was the most terrifying things to hear, especially when we just lost Bailey.
I ran some tests on his blood at work. His liver, kidneys, everything looks good. His urine, however, showed that the type of stones he has can't be broken up with medication.
He's going to have to have surgery to get those out.
The problem is, that since he just had a seizure, it's very risky to put him under. We're kind of in a bad position.
After talking to the vet, I felt like we had a good grasp on things. The kidney stones are our immediate concern. We'll deal with what's causing the seizures once we get past the surgery.
How naive.
He had another seizure tonight.
Two within twelve hours is not good.
I don't know where we're at with things right now.
It's hard to stay optimistic in the middle of the night.
