Hi, we are taking Penny, the worlds most beautiful Border collie, to her vet Saturday. In the last 60 days she has had 2 seizures. The last one was Monday evening. She was sleeping on the floor when she quickly stood up and headed down the hallway to get outside. She was limping on her right side, front and back leg, bumping into the wall on her way out. She looked dazed, confused, kinda like she had no idea where she was.

I followed her out side and when she got to the grass, she laid down. She did not loose control of her bodily functions and did not respond to me calling her. She wasn't salivating, growling or howling. I sat down next to her and stroked her for a few minutes. Picked her up and brought her back inside and put her on the couch next to me and held her and told everything was alright. She was still very tense and restless. I put her on the floor and she began to relax and mellow out. She laid there for about 5 minutes and got up and walked normally. She still looked confused but she was walking normally.

She was back to her old self in about 20 minutes.  

It wasn't my cookin or Charlie passin gas. Shelby was terribly upset. Penny is 13 years old and the worst thing that has ever happened to her was and eye and ear infection at the same time. 

Talk about feeling helpless, she's my baby girl. We take her at 11:40 Saturday morning. Cindi will be with Charlie, The worlds most handsome Cocker Spaniel, at the Healdsburg Library while I take Penny Poo to the vet. Wish us luck and toss a few prayers up Saturday morning.

I've done some research on the web and it could be several things, we want to find out what's causing the seizures and kick it's butt!

Thanks, the chauffeur

How awful and scary…so sorry to hear it!

Said a prayer for Penny and you!

Jack & Cindi, I'm so sorry to hear Penny is not feeling well.  I know how scary seizures can be:  I once had a cat that had some neurological issues, and had seizures for about the last three years of her life (she lived to 20, and they were controlled with phenobarbitol).  All us Hollenbecks here in So Cal are sending all of our positive thoughts and energy up to Penny and her crew.  I hope whatever is going on with her is easily and quickly resolved.

Sweet Penny, here's to a definitive diagnosis and the hopes that these incidents can be brought to a screeching halt.
