FINALLY GOOD NEWS!!

Hey Pals,
After the long weekend wait, it's finally over. The Dogter called Mama today & I Snickers have a GOOD LIVER!!! My tests turned out well. So now that just means I have plain ol' Epilepsy. All of the other causes of seizures have been ruled out by tests. I've already started on the medication to prevent the seizures. It will take 2 weeks to get into my system so I could possibly have some seizures during this time. After the 2 weeks, if I would then get a seizure, then the dosage of medication will need to be increased a bit. With the current weight that I am, I'm right in between 2 dosage levels. So we're starting with the lower dose. Mama was laughing while she was on the phone with the Dogter cause he told her I could act a bit spacey when first starting this drug, hehehehe! Hmmmmmm, I thought I was spacey from Lacie's smoothies!!

Gee, those darn strawberry seeds are stuck in my toofies again from the smoothies:
Hey Nurse Lacie, can we make these seedless by chance????

Many thanks to all of my pals for your paws & prayers!!!
I have to show you another birfday card I just recieved. It's from my good pal Lenny! Doesn't that wirey dude look like Lenny too??
So cute!!!! Thanks Lenny!!

Wirey Hugs!
Snickers & Butchy

Um...ur mama did look a tad loopy yesterday...the strawberry smoothies are one of my most powerful concoctions...it's the seeds...yes...they are aggravating when you have as many toofers as we do, but you can't beat them for their healing powers!!!

Oh Snickers!

GREAT NEWS!!!

What a relief to learn that you don't have liver problems and that what you do have can be controlled. We are so happy that it is not more serious.

As for the spacey part, don't worry about that. After all, you are a fox terrier, and we all are at least a little spacey. It comes natural to us. Hehe.

Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
