Hello all i lost my best friend Lucky oct 22 2011 he died after going into epilipctus status his last seizure lasted 6 hours where he lay on a blanket in my kitchen floor for 6 hours breating very heavily and his teeth chattering, the vet said there was nothing anyone could do but that as long as he was breathing he'd be ok well after 6 hours of this he died, when i moved him lots of brownish blood came out of his mouth lots of blood it was a horrible day, but i have not been able to get any answers as to what caused all that blood to come from his mouth, if anyone can please shed some light on this it may help to bring some closure, i just feel so guilty that it wasn't epilepsy as my vet had diagnosed and maybe there was some other cause for his seizures

Oct. 22nd i lost my best friend lucky to seizures, my boy lucky a 6 year old cao-de-fila (portuguese mastiff) he and his brother had been in the family since 6 weeks old. a year and a half ago Lucky started having seizures, we took him to the vet he ran all sorts of tests and concluded that it was Epelepsy, we started him on barbital with in 6 months he was up to 280 mg. a day the seizures weren't getting any better and he was turning into a vegetable so for the next 3 months we weened him off the barbital and started him on potassium bromide, still not much help but at least he didn't seem doped up all the time, the seizures continued once a month just like clockwork, they would last 2 or 3 day's sometimes clustering into 16 sezures over the 3 day's but they were all relatively mild and the vet said there was nothing to worry about the seizures would not kill him, when the episodes would start we would give him valium that would stop some of the clustering, then Oct 20 he started seizuring he had over 10 small seizures over the course of 3 hours , and almost seemed as though he had gotten them out of his system that night i was up all night with him, the next day he was running around playing with his brother and seemed back to normal, then one more seizure again very mild, he snapped right out of it and again was back to his usual self, Sat morn Oct.22nd we went for our usual walk, came home had breakfast, and i gave him his usual treats, at 10:00 am he came to me whining (he would alway's do this when he wanted more treats) but i just told him to go lay down a few seconds later he goes into his last seizure which would last 6 hours and at 4;00 pm he died. for 6 hours i watched helplessly has my boy lay on his side just shaking teeth chattering nothing would help the vet said as long as he was breathing he could snap out of it ( and i hoped and prayed ) but at 4 pm he pooed himself on a blanket i had layed him on and a dark reddish brown blood started pouring out of his mouth. My world fell apart i haven't shed a tear since i was 6 years old and i cryed like a baby so many night i lay awake in bed thinking back to that moment when he came to me whining and i told him to go lay down. i would give anything to have that moment back just to hold him and tell him how much i love him this is a pic. of my boy's at 3 months the darker one on the right is Lucky ohhh how i miss him
