Jeff and Butch bringing you important information on caring for your pets!
Note from Jeff:
I have been at the Ohio State University Center of Veterinary Medicine the past week to have a complete neurological work up and MRI done to get to the bottom of Butch’s seizures. So I have been out of the studio in order to get a full diagnosis and treatment for Butch. Butch is 7 yrs and 7 months old which is roughly 53 in human terms. Late stage seizures like the ones he has been having are not good and are generally caused by one of three things, a lesion of some kind, idiopathic epilepsy, or a brain tumor. As none of these are desirable for any pet epilepsy is treatable and pets can live normal happy lives for many years. As he has been in ideal health and in great shape his whole life the most likely of these is a brain tumor causing his seizures, unfortunately.
Ohio State University is one of the top Veterinary hospitals in the country and Dr. Ronaldo de Costa of the Veterinary Neurology Department has been monitoring the procedures and tests Butch is going through at the facility and his current treatment. The MRI tells the whole story. Stay tuned for more details…
