About Maya

English Springer Spaniel
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

[Read About Natural Seizure Care] MAYA is a sweet and loving dog who lets our kids crawl all over her without any issues. She has had seizures almost her entire life, chronic UTIs, skin allergies, ear yeast infections. She recently had eight seizures in a matter of two days which put a financial burden on us. She is now on two different kinds of medicines with one being extended release because we just could not give it to her three times a day due to having two small children that need our attention and two full-time jobs. Currently she sits in her kennel or just walks around all the time and pants. We just feel that she needs to be with someone that is retired or can give her more attention and does not have children or has older children that can take care of themselves and do not need attention all of the time. Our hearts are broken, and we really just don't know what to do, but we just do not feel it's fair to keep the children confined at home so we can take care of their sick dog. We do not feel it is fair to MAYA to keep her in her kennel all day. We are not sure she does not have neurological damage as we tried to see a neurologist who wouldn't see us when we were told she could and does not believe she really needs an MRI because she's confident MAYA has epilepsy and not a brain lesion. This is coming from an emergency vet neurologist that only read her history but never met the dog. We do not know how much damage eight seizures in two days caused, but she is more alert than she was because we thought we were going to have to put her down. We really do not want to do this because we love her very much and are just heartbroken that we may never see her again, but we just don't know what to do. If you can help us or you think you can take her so she gets more attention and gets the care she needs, please let me know. Thank you and God bless you!
