Panda Bear

Panda Bear, just a week or so after I brought her home from the Wasilla Dog & Puppy Rescue. They told me she was a Border Collie/Australian Shepard mix, but I think someone made that up. She's much bigger than either of those, she is about 75 lbs. I believe she is a lab/husky mix. She LOVES the water and doesn't bark much at all.

My dog Panda seems to be doing fine. No seizures that I know of since Sunday evening. She spent all day at the vet yesterday and appeared fine to them also, albeit a little nervous. Today I got the blood results and nothing is out of the ordinary. The doctor states that if your dog has seizures before one year of age or after ten years, then it could be something serious. Panda is seven. Apparently it is fairly common for dogs to have seizures (this is our second dog whose had them) and it's not a big concern as long as the seizures don't last more than a minute or two. The dog is not breathing during the seizure so is not getting oxygen to it's brain. He called her type of seizures Cluster Epilepsy. She may have them again and when she does it will probably be in a cluster like these have been. He did give me a sedative for her so that if she has another one, I can then sedate her to help ward off any more.

Yes, I'm talking about you Panda!
