<div class="_5pbx userContent"><p>I liked this group awhile ago and thought I would post in hopes that someone could help. My husband and I live in Summerville, South Carolina and are looking for a new home for our English Setter. We rescued him a year ago from a horrible situation where he was being neglected but find ourselves unable to keep him now. He is a year and half and is a very energetic happy boy. We find that we can not offer the time and space to run that he needs. My husband and I do not want to take him to a shelter or give him to just anyone. Does anyone happen to know of anywhere close by that could help or know of anyone in South Carolina that is looking for an English Setter?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance for any help even though I wish that I didn't have to ask.</p>

<p> If you can help and have trouble finding her on face book message me please.</p>

<p>LIFE AFTER EPILEPSY ABBIE`S STORY</p>
<p>The story of “ Kenmilfore red pepper” D.O.B. 7<sup>th</sup>. May 2004</p>
<p>In October 2003 my grandson died at 8 months, this left a very large hole in my world. I had been considering getting an Irish setter for some time and in July 2004 I got Abbie to help fill that gap. </p>
<p>(maybe not the right reason to get a puppy).</p>
<p>I saw a litter advertised in June and arranged to go and see them. I arrived at a lovely country house with a large garden and there were 7 beautiful 5 week old puppies and mum, some in the garden some in the kitchen one laying across the doorstep ( this was Abbie). I was not hurried and the breeder was so helpful as she knew that I had not had a setter before. I left a deposit and she asked me to visit if I wanted to before I collected her, and if I took an old jumper or towel she would put it with the litter so that I could take the smell of the litter home with Abbie.</p>
<p>Three weeks later I went to collect my darling Abbie, the breeder had all the paperwork in place, gave me a diet sheet, worming history and other information on Irish setters. This is what I would now expect from a good breeder. Over the next 2 ½ years I communicated regularly with the breeder, exchanging pictures, letters, Christmas cards etc. Abbie was a normal naughty puppy .</p>
<p>In August 2006 Abbie had her first fit, I didn’t know what to do, I rang my vet and she was very helpful explained what it was and said she would come out if I wanted but there was little point as there was nothing she could do at that time, adding that if she had another one then call her straight away and to visit the surgery the next day. When I took her they decided it would be best not to put her on medication straight away as she may only have one fit and also this would help them with the dosage. I phoned the breeder to let her know what had happened as she had kept one of the litter to breed from, I spoke to her daughter as the breeder was not in and asked that the breeder rings me back. I never got a call back and rang her on several occasions but she was never available, and that was the end of my relationship with Abbie`s breeder. </p>
<p>At this point I would like to describe her fits, as fit vary in intensity:</p>
<p>When Abbie fits she will shake and claw for about 1-2 minutes, emptying her bladder and expressing her anal glans while foaming heavily from her mouth. She then lays motionless for another 3-6 minutes. When she comes round she visits every room in the house then outside and walks around the perimeter of the garden before coming back in to drink about 1 ½ litres of water, after an hours sleep she returns to her normal self. Should her fit last longer than 3 minutes I have to quickly administer diazepam into her back passage to help bring her out of it, and lessen the possibility of brain damage.</p>
<p>Over the next six weeks Abbie had a further 5 fits it was then that the vet put her on epiphen. </p>
<p>I kept a diary for Abbie for 3 years listing each time she had a fit including; possible link to her seasons/ time of day/ what she ate that day/ where she had exercised/ how long for/ length of fit/ recovery time etc…. hoping to find a common factor with no success.</p>
<p> In November that year she had a major stroke, could not walk, lost all her memory, didn’t know who she was, what biscuits were or where she lived ( when we got to the vets she thought Abbie was blind because she was so vacant) I really didn`t think we were going to take Abbie home again, but the vet said we must give her a chance. It took a month for her to get over this, not being able to walk for a week and when she did I took her for very short walks and she was everywhere didn’t know what to do at the road or people who she had known for a long while. In the house she would walk around trying to get out as if she shouldn’t be here (we worked it out later she thought she lived in the car, as this was her first memory after the stroke).</p>
<p>We were lucky in that she had no more fits in this month, but a week after her recovery they started again. The fits came every week or two in clusters of up to 7 in 2 days. The vet altered her medication when she had a longer period between her fits, the medication would drop if only by ½ tablet and the fits would come again.</p>
<p>She has blood tests every 4 months to monitor her liver function and toxin levels. At this time she was put on a low fat / low protein diet and 240mg. Epiphen + 1950mg Potassium bromide per day, as well as the Diazepam when required (she is still on this dose).</p>
<p>This went on until June 2009 when she had a single stem tumour removed from the base of her neck, she built up fluid and had another operation and a drain fitted. September that year Abbie had another stroke, this time it was minor and she recovered from this very quickly, only a week. In November that year at a routine check-up the vet was unhappy with her eyes after examinations he told me she was losing her sight.</p>
<p>August 2010 when I took her for her boosters, and my concerns that her fur was getting very thin the vet said she has probably got cushions decease, he was only 90% sure and would need to run test and scans to confirm this. (I refused these tests as it meant two days of blood tests, sedation, scans, feeding her and more blood tests). He was not going to give her the booster, he said “It is as good as it gets, if you get to Christmas make the most of it,” That day I went home and decided that if she had so little time left that I would let her have what she wanted, I took her off the vets diet and as she loves fish, put her on 80% fish diet. Within two weeks of her new diet she was much better, even wanting to go for short walks which she had not done for so long. Her fits have been few and far between since then. We have ups and downs, sometimes I get concerned for her but most of the time now she greets me when I come home.</p>
<p>Having a dog with epilepsy is not easy, social life is out the window but we still have holidays in English cottages as I can’t leave her in kennels. I would have liked her to have a litter but that really doesn’t matter either, I now have another two Irish setters aged nearly six and nearly seven months. We don’t have expensive carpets or furniture, we have towels around the house so if she has a fit we put one between her rear legs.</p>
<p> It is now January 2013 and we still have Abbie, she may be slow but she still has</p>
<p> “QUALITY OF LIFE”</p>
<p> Thank you for listening.</p>

<h1 class="subject">What could cause my dog's belly to bloat up to the size of a basketball in about an hr's time ?</h1>
<div class="content">My dog's a blue healer/rottie mix, about 75 lbs when up until about 2 yrs ago, 60-ish lbs now when an elderly 14 yrs. She was fine this morning, ate her first meal of 2-3 daily at noon and seemed normal and happy when my boyfriend came home from turkey hunting about noon. About 5:30 tonight, she was standing by the door and wanted to go out to puke. So I let her out and finished fixing dinner. About 7:15, my boyfriend went out to hang out with her and noticed her belly was huge. Including the normal girth of her body, about basketball size. She has a barrel chest, but her belly's usually pretty thin, especially in her old age. Naturally, because her big swollen belly and whatever else was going on, she was lethargic and in pain (quietly, no wimpering or anything) She didn't want to be helped up and protested when lifted, though she's quite used to being helped because her hip dysplacia. Her puke was watery and thick white foam.<br/>Thanks for helping</div>
