Our sweet girl

I wanted to give you guys an updated on our sweet dog, Chloe :)  I call her my baby girl!

About a month ago, we had a couple of pretty big scares.  One night she woke up and had two Grand Mal seizures (full seizure) in the amount of 2 hours.  We took her into the vet and found out her levels weren't were they needed to be--meaning we weren't giving her enough medication.  So they kept her for a day and observed her and they decided to up her medication dosage.  After that, it was taking her a while to get adjusted to the new dose and she became very irritated, angry and hyper--basically, nothing like herself!  THEN about a week after this happened we woke up in the middle of the night to her having partial seizures.  These aren't as dangerous as full seizures unless they have a large amount of them in a short amount of time.  She had about 6 in the amount of 10 minutes!!! (VERY SCARY)  So I took her to the emergency vet at about 2:00am.  They kept her for the day, gave her some Valium, and monitored her.  They let her go home, and she struggled for about a week to get adjusted.

But I am happy to say that she is finally back to herself again!! :)  Her medication is back on track and we have our sweet little baby girl back who is just as cute as ever!!  She loves to cuddle at the end of the couch and just rest.  Sometimes she gets a little energy and sprints around the house!  But then she goes right back to her place on the couch :)

I will leave you with a picture our or little girl cuddled up on the couch :)
