Thank You! It is so hard! I was sobbing. He is such a big guy it makes it that much harder because I just wanted to pick him up when he could not walk and that is not a option.
Ohh hunni i wish i could just come & give you a big hug, i really do know how your feeling theres nothing worse than feeling helpless in a situation like that, stay strong even if you dont feel very strong, Eli will pick up on your positive vibes, loads of hugs to u all xxxxx

@ilovemysphynx hoping Eli had a "regular" day. Also hoping you are feeling more at ease. It will take a couple of weeks for it to get out of your mind. The snow is on it's way and I hope you guys get an extended weekend and lots of time to snuggle with Eli and of course the catalysts of the Lair...your nakeds!

Moody had one once...but never happened again. Scared the crap out of me though. Great Danes are pretty fragile for being such big lugs. I've had two and adored them! But giant breeds have what seems to me, a lot of issues. I bet you totally freaked, Heather. Praying it NEVER reoccurs.
Love you,
Susi xoxoxo

You must have been terrified! Thank goodness he seems fine now. I hope this never happens again. You can add me to the prayer chain as I will be saying a few for Eli too.

Poor Eli our great dane had a seizure this morning :(
Tom woke me up at about 4:15 and said that something is wrong I jumped out of bed and Eli had no use of his back legs it was very scary and sad. He also did poop and pee in his room, (he never does that)
and vomited. After a few hours he was walking better thank god. I took him to the vet at 10:30 and he confirmed that Eli had a seizure. I thought it could be wobblers syndrome so I am happy that it is not.
I hope it was a one time thing and this never happens again. I cried all morning thinking I was going to loose my big guy.
The vet said it could just happen once and never happen again, 50/50 chance.
At this point we do not know the cause, he said it could be caused by a poison or mold but being that the yard is covered in snow I don't see how that is possible.
So please send good thought our way! And please let this have been a one time thing.

Hi there
That happened to me but sadly my boy died... Well i had him put to sleep due to his pain and distress. He had cardiomyopathy. A clot went to his spine and brain...
I hope all is well for you now xx here if u need to talk!
