That's reassuring news Merlin. The valium should make a difference to Buzz's vet trips. Hopefully you can breathe a little again now. x

Thanks, yes it is a relief, good even knowing I don't need to worry so much about trips to the vet - although he tried to say the seizures are bot stress related, but there is a clear pattern which he couldn't deny!

Jack Russells are known for having a long life

Great news Merlin. I think I will have to get Teddy some sedatives for when he goes to the vet, he gets so stressed and tries to bite the vet, he's never bitten anyone. She puts a muzzle on him but he gets it off.

Poor Teddy! The older they get the more poked and prodded they get! Buzz only once tried to bite the vet (he was looking at a very sore infected broken nail) usually she responds well to bribery

We've never been able to use bribery with Teddy. He point blank refuses to eat when he's not in his own home. The vet has offered him treats but he never takes them. She has commented that she's never had a dog refuse a treat before.

But Sunday and today she is just not feeling well, keeps stressing and peeing and been sick yesterday and today. Am hoping its just that she got a bit stressed at the vets, but I hate it when she is sick! Just want to make her feel better! (she is still eating though)
Oh merlin, hope buzz is ok now, My JR lived till she was 17 and half years old, she had cancer, had a stroke and was going blind, it's horrible when they get old xxx

She is better, although was sick again today, but ate her supper so can't be feeling that unwell!

It is horrid watching her get old, but still wouldn't change a thing!

She has been very cuddly this week, but that is normal for her after a seizure for a week or two (well more so than normal and she is a teddy bear and loves cuddles!)
