I spoke too soon!

Well, yesterday´s outing was too much for Elvis. At 08:00 this morning he started having seizures. The first few were 5 to 15 minutes apart, then another after half an hour and the next two just under an hour apart. The first one, like the last time, was short and he was up almost immediately so I was able to get the Keppra pill down him quickly. After the third we resorted to the diazepam. He´s always hungry afterwards, but until we feel sure he´s not going to fit immediately we cannot give him anything in case he chokes. So, after he was okay again, not bumping into walls etc, he had 2 scrambled eggs (usually just one) . He is not much better having had a good sleep for the last hour. It would not be unusual for him to have a few more, but hopefully he won´t today.
