I woke up to the sound of Pocus thrashing in his crate early this morning. It didn't last too long and he settled down to sleep again. I suspected a short seizure but wasn't sure. At 1 pm he had another seizure so I phoned the vet right away. My good friend Jo-Ann, vet extraordinaire, told me to bring him in for blood work.
There was nothing terribly out of whack in his blood panel so a brain tumor is suspected. He is 12 1/2 years old and has been very healthy up to now. We will treat the seizures and hope that he will still have some good quality of life for a while. It's so hard when our friends get old and we know that good-bye is coming. It never gets easier.
For now, he is fine and perky. Except for the blood getting drawn, I think he quite enjoyed his visit to the vet's office. He got to say hello to lots of people and dogs while we were there.
