Ok, so at about 3am this morning I woke up to let Hemi out to go potty, and he was comatose in his crate. I immediately grabbed my shoes and a scrunchie for my hair, wrapped Hemi in a blanket (he was a little cold), and took him to the nearest 24 hr emergency clinic, which thankfully is only about a 5 minute drive if I speed (which I did!!). On the way to the vet, Hemi started seizuring. I pulled over immediately (nobody was on the road anyways), grabbed a leather puppy rag from my trunk and stuck it in his mouth so he couldn't bite his tounge. He was paddling his legs and screaming with his eyes clamped shut. The seizure lasted for about a minute, then he went limp and started whining, completely unresponsive. I wrapped him really tight in the towel, kept the rag in his mouth, and put him on the passenger seat floorboard so he couldn't fall if he had another seizure. I flew into the parking lot of the vet and just as I parked, he had another seizure. This one was much worse than the last, and it took all that I had in me to hold him down so he couldn't flop and hurt himself. I grabbed him as soon as it started to stop and ran inside, and just kept going until I reached the back treatment area. They were expecting me, so they immediately started working on him. His gums were very pale but he was drooling all over, he kept his eyes shut and they were rolled up in his head when you opened the lids, but he was breathing. His breathing was as if he were sleeping, you would never guess he was so sick.
So now, I'm just waiting on bloodwork and other test results to come back, and we'll see what we can do for him. I'd really hate to lose him, but I will NOT let him suffer.
I'll keep this updated as soon as I get more info.
