1/26/12 - 3:30PM-4:45PM - Head of neurology called. I need a plan of action.
How/when can we tell if medication is working? He said Potassium Bromide levels could be measured in 3 months.
I asked about open shunt or anti-syphen valve shunt possibilities. He said we will try to lower CSF with meds if possible and we will visit shunt options as the need arises.
I brought up Cletus having seizures on 11/1 and on 1/1 - both days I gave flea and tick and heartworm meds. He said due to Cletus having seizures on 11/1/11 and 1/1/12, we will avoid flea and tick medications for the time being as these are dates he was given these medications.
I asked when the CT will happen. He said CT will be scheduled for Monday, 2/6/12. Someone will be calling to schedule a time.
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.
