I am really struggling to come to terms with losing my beloved Rocky, maybe because it all happened so quickly and unexpectedly, I don't know, but I am finding it really difficult adjusting to a very quiet house without him....... But I am also starting to feel angry!!!!!!! Why?????? I thought that by having pets insured, meant that if, or when any unexpected treatment was needed, then the insurance would take away all the worry and stress of having to find money for vets fees, so that you could concentrate on getting your furry little family member all fixed and well again. How wrong I was!!!!!!!! On our first visit to the vet on Tuesday, after Rocky had the first seizure, I had to pay £80 as soon as the consultation was over. This was a bit steep, as I'm skinter than skint, but I had my car tax money, so I used that. (So could only put 6 months tax on instead of my planned 12, but hey-ho, as long as my dog was ok, I could live with that.) Anyway, as the ...
A couple of months ago, my dog, Rocky had a massive seizure. He had never had one before, and it was quite scary to see. I took him to the vet and, after a thorough check, the vet said he seemed fine, and that we should just keep an eye on him, as she didn't want to start investigating in case it triggered off something else. Anyway, he was absolutely on top form, no adverse affects or repeat seizures. Yesterday morning, I get a phonecall at work from Jordan, saying that Rocky is having a seizure and Sophie was panicking as she didn't know what to do.

He got the once-over again, and the vet was happy that he seemed to have recovered. She said that it could be any one of a hundred different things that has caused it, so we should just keep an eye on him, and go back if there were ...
Today is my step-son, Arron's 21st birthday. Unfortunately, Arron died a month before his 16th birthday, back in 2004. He had epilepsy, and he had a massive seizure during the night and hit his head. It was a massive shock to us, as he had just visited us the day before, saying how excited he was about his 16th birthday, and, then, to be told the next morning that he was gone!!!!!! Arron is in the blue football top. This is how we always remember him, little and cheeky!!!!! He was doing a lot of disco's for kids with one of his uncles, and one of his favourite songs was Hero, and it was played at his funeral. Happy Birthday Arron, xxx YouTube - Enrique Iglesias Hero http://www.hymoo.com
