So I haven't really told anyone this story because i really had to see how it turned out first. saturday nite was a great nite until we got home and Tasha (our sitter) left. i went to let the dogs out and luci was not acting right. it was like she didn't even recognize me and she wasn't acting like a spaz which is normal for her. i brought luci inside and she started seizing! so steve took her from me cuz i was freaking out! for the last few weeks, steve has been working on his car in the garage and i guess somehow luci must have gotten into either antifreeze or transmission fluid earlier that day!! so i was pretty sure that it was too late and she was a goner. but after she stopped seizing, i called an ER vet and also the animal poison control center and basically both of them told us that we needed to get her somewhere asap. so she at least stopped seizing and was calmed down but she still wasn't normal. at about midnite, steve took her to the ER vet. they did a blood test and it showed that she had antifreeze poisoning which there is an anitdote for but i guess it causes kidney failure if not treated within the first 8 hours of exposure. i really thought that it was too late, but they gave her 3 doses of the medicine and she stayed overnite. she had a couple more seizures but i dont think they were as bad. so anyway...she came home the next day and seems to be out of the woods! she's pretty much herself again. i'm amazed actually! this poor dog always seems to get hurt somehow. a few months ago, steve took her for a ride cuz they love goin bye-bye, and she jumped out of the car and ran straight into the tire of a moving car!! again...she should have probably been hit, but she timed it just right i guess. i really do think she is part cat cuz she certainly seems to have nine lives! i've been thinking about trying to find someone to adopt my dogs, but man did i feel guilty when i thought that luci was dying!! so i dont think i can give em up!
