Animals come into our lives as gifts from God, for companionship, to teach us, and to heal us. They deserve our very best efforts in caring for them.

December 2, 2009 Vet visit for more blood work

On December 2nd, Brady went to Dr. Slayman to have blood drawn to check to see where his Potassium Bromide levels were. He also received his rabies shot today and Dr. Slayman agreed that we could skip his other vaccines this time. The rabies shot really worried me, but it's the law.

December 4th....blood work results are in at 0.8. According to Dr. Slayman the therapeutic range is 1-3 (if on KBr only) and 0.8-2 (if on KBr in combination with another anti-convulsant drug). Per Dr. Slayman-leave his KBr dose at 600mg once per day and increase to 750mg if he has another seizure. Everything stays the same with Pb. (97.2 twice per day).
