I am Douglas Silber and I was the owner of Cletus, a bloodhound who is reported to be the 1st dog with open lipped schizencephaly (OLS). Even though he has the only reported case of OLS in a dog, he can't be the only one with the condition. This blog began with the purpose of following his life and to help educate about OLS in an animal. Cletus may no longer be by my side but I will continue to push for schizencephaly education and awareness... in the name and memory of Cletus the Bloodhound.

1/17/2012 - Emergency Room
1/17/12 - 1:00PM-4:00PM - Brought Cletus into the University of Florida Vet Emergency Room. We wanted an MRI done to rule out brain tumors. If he was 7 years old having these symptoms, an MRI would be done. The ER doc believes it is only epilepsy and wants us to watch him for the next couple of days and bring him back if he has a seizure. We explained that through the 7 seizures we have seen, he has never lost control of his bladder or deficated in any of them. If he has a seizure between 5 and 10PM, we will see it, otherwise, we won't. UF decided to keep Cletus overnight in ICU for observation on seizure watch.
