Yesterday, July 16, 2019, after cutting some grass – I came into the porch area to put my grass blower and weed wacker away. It was about 7:27p. A storm was coming in… literally and figuratively. Walked up the little ramp that I had built for Shadow and Lukas was looking at me at the top of the ramp… his head was cocked and he was holding his left leg out (as to “give me 5”). I thought this might be the beginning of a seizure… so I tried to get him into the house/on the balcony… but he wouldn’t move – so we just sat down. I held him.

He shook/trembled some… he seemed awake and aware – but his muscles seemed “locked.” I looked at the time and it was 7:32p. His shaking stopped some 2 mins (actually about 1.5 minutes) but we stayed down until 7:35p. He eventually got up and moved as if nothing had happened.

In the house – I noticed that he had thrown up in the living room (I thought he had been eating “poop” while I was cutting the grass)… it was dark and liquidy. After he entered the house from the seizure he went to the dog dish and drank. He drank – not a ton of water though. He threw up two additional times in the next hour. Always the vomit was dark and watery. I chose not to feed him his dinner as I wanted his stomach to settled.

I thought to myself… is there anything that is “different” that would have brought this on? The only thing I thought of… I had placed a Glade “Plug In” in the dining room. It was giving off a pretty strong smell. Could this have triggered it? I don’t know but I took it down so not to have it going. In addition, I have decided to start the herb that he was on from Dr. Carlson. I have an appointment in a few weeks… and will ask him about it.

Oh Lukey…
