Well we just had a very weird weekend here. On Saturday a wonderful lady we’ve met named Mimi came out to do some massage and bioscan light therapy treatment on Maverick. Before she came out we’d noticed that Alf was walking a bit weird in the rear end and couldn’t seem to control it really well. We asked Mimi to take a look at him.
To make a very long story short, Alf was having a seizure that got much worse before it got better. We had called a vet to come out and humanely euthanize him as we didn’t think he was going to recover; but it was going to be another hour or more before the vet arrived. Alf was laying on the ground with the 3 of us next to him. When he began convulsing we began praying over him.
Within minutes of us beginning to pray for him he suddenly tried to get up, which he’d been doing unsuccesfully. This time however he popped right up and tried to go bolting off through the front gate that was open! He gave a huge body shake, and his eyes were completely clear, bright, and he looked completely fine.
This was not the result we were expecting! Not that we are complaining by any means, but what a shock! To say the least we ended up canceling the vet.
He still has some lingering effects from the seizure, occasionally he can’t control his rear end and his appetite is not quite up to normal. But he is back to nickering, begging for his fruits and veggies.
So just keep Alf in your prayers. The vet thinks it just may be old age and there is a possibility that he will seize again. We are hoping and praying not.
