After a few hours getting observed at the vet, getting a shot of valium, IV fluids and phenobarbital (anti seizure medication) that she will be on for a while now I got to take her home with the help and emotional support from Drinda and Deborah (Thank You).
Chhaya is resting now, she had dinner and went potty. So good. So amazing.
I have cried so much I don't know how I can have tears left.
My brave Chhaya, my girl I love you so much. You make me happy. You are so beautiful. You are my friend. My baby. You are so smart, funny, playful and gentle.
I have prayed that we will always be connected even after we get separated one day.
I think the seizures were triggered by heat, even the first one she had back in June now when I look back. It was a hot day then and yesterday was very hot also and I think Chhaya got too hot. Please make sure your animal friends don't get too hot.
It can happen even when it's not obvious. Now I will be very careful.
I love you Chhaya, more than any words can describe. My heart knows and I know you know this too.
Jag ar så rädd, så ensam, så vilse. Jag vet inte vad som händer. När kommer det att bli bättre? Jag har väntat så länge. Jag saknar min familj och mina vänner. Jag vill inte finnas längre ibland for det gör så ont. Jag försöker vara stark. Hjälp.

She was prescribed Phenobarbital. The side effects are not that fun, she is different acting. It's difficult to watch.
The dosage was cut in half after the second day.....or the first? I am so worn out I can't think straight.

And i hope people learn from your experience and think before leaving pets in the heat simply because they want their baby with them 24/7
Not best interest for the animal.
Bravery comes in all forms.

BARF.
Really now?
Just so you know.....a person that works at the vet clinic that I took Chhaya to told me that she took her dog with her on a bike ride on a moderately warm day and her dog suddenly had a seizure.
I don't know for sure what caused Chhaya's seizures.....I am only speculating and thinking the seizures could be heat related. I am trying to be a very good pet parent.
Have I done mistakes? Of course but Chhaya is very loved and well cared for.
Your comment sounds mean. Like I am neglecting my dog or something. When there are plenty of examples of people that really abuse their dogs.
Will she be on meds for the rest of her life? I don't know. I hope not.
Yes. Bravery comes in all forms. Chhaya is the bravest being I have ever met.

I meant that perhaps if anything from the seizures could have a good effect on anything that maybe someone out there who has been leaving a pet in the hot weather maybe they can stop doing that and it might prevent another pet from having some seizures.
What sounded mean was how you reacted to my comment.
I'm going to think that this is what you mean when you're saying that you are opinionated?
I didn't say anything about you leaving your dog in a hot car with windows up.
That part.
Happy to read she is going down with the phenobarbital and if you have any extra I know that people will buy that same medicine if you need some money to help cover veterinarian bills.

Because if I did I would think that you would ask me in person to buy Chhaya's phenobarbital. Since none of my friends have asked me this I do not think that I know you. So why would I sell medication to a stranger?
I don't think so. Never even crossed my mind. I don't do that kind of business. Not my style.
As far as money goes for Chhaya's vet bills and whatever else I need money for, I am good.
And as far as what you think about how I sounded when I wrote you back, I really don't care. You sounded like you think I neglected my dog. Whatever.
I don't know you anyways so really at the end of the day I don't care, you can think whatever.
