So a lot of people were asking for an update on Marv and here it is: I went to visiting hours and saw him. He seems a little low compared to his usual playful self but other than that seems to be ok. They gave him propofol after his seizure last night and that does tend to make dogs more chill. I spoke with the neurologist today and she believes he has idiopathic epilepsy, which has no known cause or cure. Moving forward we treat the symptoms (seizure activity) with twice daily propofol and it sounds like he can have a happy and healthy life with that treatment. While in the hospital he has been given iv fluids and has a catheter in (that he tried to chew out, hence the cone of shame) My fiancé and I pick him up at 4:30 today and I’m literally counting down the minutes. It absolutely broke my heart to walk away from him after visiting hours were over. Thank you to everyone who has been keeping Marv in your thoughts and prayers!
