Maude update
It’s been quite a day. Maude is in the Intensive Care Unit at the animal hospital in Yorkville. During a routine vet appoint this afternoon to treat an ear infection she went into an endless seizure that the doctors were incapable of stopping. In the end they had to put her into a coma. They are slowly bringing her back to consciousness while treating her with new drugs to stop the epilepsy. The specialist says that it is not life threatening but of course, the entire day has been exhausting. Emotionally I am wrecked and I have been crying uncontrollably. Hopefully she will be well enough to take home tomorrow but they suspect that she will have to spend one more night to be sure. Although it is unusual for pets to not be able to come out of a seizure, it is not impossible, quite the opposite. They just have to find the right dosage. I’m trying to stay positive.
I have never had a dog like Maude. She is the greatest, and the thought of never seeing her again is unbearable to imagine. As we were saying goodbye to her tonight her ears perked up and her eyes opened. She knew we were there. I love her. More than anything. Please, if you read this, send good vibes.
I possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. 
She will be in our thoughts, and hopefully she’ll get better soon. x
Thanks, it means a lot.
Best to you and Maude.
Thank you, we await good news, hopefully.
I’m praying for her full recovery. She continues to be in my thoughts. Hang in there Franco!
We have just received some positive news from the vet, so I’ll keep people informed as I learn more. Thanks for the prayers.
Some humans will never know , how ( We ) pet-lovers can communicate our feelings and our
love in a special language . Forza Franco .!!!!!
It always shocks me that more people don’t feel this way about their pets. Thanks for the support.
Get better Maude!!! I’m praying for you..
Thanks, she appreciates it.
Thinking of you and Maude, and keeping my fingers crossed … really tightly.
Thank you. She is now breathing on her own and is awake sans seizures. So that’s good news.
Sending all the positiveness I can for you furry family member. Hoping you have her home now.
Thank you she is not home as of now, but no longer in ICU. She’s off the intubation tube and breathing on her own. Fingers crossed.
