Thank you all who responded to me about Rothgar. Sadly, he did not make it through the night. The seizures where diabetic since Rothgar's blood sugar had dropped so low. We don't know why, since he had been routinely medicated, but I'm sure he knew it was time to go. We called the vet, who confirmed, and gently let us know that Rothgar would probably not make it through until tomorrow, even if we rushed him to the hospital. We thought it best to give him some pain medication, and he died sleeping on my husband's lap. Sandee, please look out for Rothgar as he crosses the bridge to greet you and dook away! Thanks for your thoughts. Cara [Posted in FML issue 5182]
