Spoke with the neurologist’s assistant again today (who, in
turn spoke to the neurologist on our behalf). She states that the treatment plan for now is
to keep Stella on the Gabapentin 100mg and wait.
The suspected diagnosis is “Idiopathic Epilepsy”; “Epilepsy with no
known cause”.
We are to continue with the Gabapentin and if another
seizure should occur we are to call. The
neurologist wants to wait as long as possible before putting Stella on
anti-seizure medications because they are very powerful and can be damaging to
the liver We were told it can cause
liver failure. If we are lucky the
Gabapentin will be enough to stop further seizures since Stella’s are
considered relatively “mild”.
Stella remains fairly disoriented. We are hopeful her body will adjust to the
medication and she will return to her silly, joyful, Puggy self.
