Re: It happened again :(

mamamia1: thanks for the info, I just called the vet to remind her about this.

Also, we recently switched foods (maybe 1 month ago) I am not sure what the protein percentages were on the old food she was on, I will have to look it up. The new food is 21%; supposedly dogs with liver shunts cannot handle high protein diets. If this food has a higher protein than the other foods we were feeding, it could have "pushed" her liver over the edge. This could also explain why we have a hard time keeping weight on her.

Fostermom: that sounds like the type of seizure Nisha is having. I thought complex PARTIAL seizure, but the complex focal seizure seems to match too. Do you know the difference of the two, or are they basically the same ?
