Thank you so much for everyone who helped me with Bella’s medical expenses! Here’s the update:

The did a blood work test to see if it was anything like kidney or liver failure, basically to check if there was anything else that could be causing the seizures other than neurological, and the blood work came back clean. It seems that whatever is wrong it’s definitely neurological and perhaps the scariest part is the fact that she 8 seizures today (9 now, she had 3 more after my original post was made) and the Vet was concerned that may mean its a brain tumor.


An MRI scan to check if its a brain tumor is 1500$ though and I obviously can’t afford that. Right now he’s given me some Phenobarbitol to get her started on. I’ve been told to keep watching her and tracking her seizures on the medication, and to call back tomorrow to let him know how she’s doing, and then weekly check ups from then on out to see if the medication helps or if we need to switch to something else. (He’d mentioned another type of seizure medication but I dont remember the name)


I’m a little concerned given the severity of her seizures that she may continue having them, and that she may have a brain tumor. Apparently you can’t treat brain tumors in dogs- Atleast not with chemo like humans. (And I wouldn’t be able to afford to anyways) He said that all we can do is treat the symptoms (seizures)


Here’s to hoping the medication works QwQ I’ll keep everyone updated, and after nearly 18 hours of stress and terrible sleep, I’m gonna be heading to bed for some rest. (And Bella too 💜)
