of my Epi with me.

She let me down today no she never lets me down I only hoped. but she only went 10days between fits.
I am still holding out against full meds but her last fits previous was 21 days ago and she had 2 in that day, so I am going to talk to the vet again.. I really don´t want to put her on meds that will shorten her life whilst I can cope with the fits, but she is getting immune to the valium so the fits could (but haven´t) get longer and stronger.

I don´t expect an answer here or what I should do, just sharing my scares

Thanks girls as I said I don´t expect or want answers as to what I do, eck even I wouldn´t be able to call it if Epi wasn´t mine. I didn´t listen to the vet last time and there is no saying I will listen next time either (just because I stay with her 24/7 ) but soon I have to decide. It breaks my heart every time she has a fit, because it hurts her and when she comes round her so trusting eyes look at me as though to say help, what happened.
I clean her up, I hug her, and then I make her life normal, so I have to ignore her being clingy (she gets lots of hugs normally) I also have to make sure the old ún gets loads of hugs, may be more than usual because she also demands attention after a fit.
I would like to say we will get there, but how do we get there anymore than we have
(I am so blase now about her valium and fits from when I used to be scared if I was alone with a fit). .

But we will get there, because she is mine and you look after them and love them as they deserve.

You have a lot on your plate at the mo Uzzi, so can understand you needing a bit of support, I am sure you will know when the time is right for the full meds, just do the best you can with your pets as I know you do and take each day as it comes.

Always hard to let them go
