UPDATE
This breaks my heart to tell you Sat Nov 4 at 11:17 AM my sweet gentle Blaze lost his battle with epilepsy. Blaze was set free while in my arms, he is now and forever free of the monster that took over his life. Blaze is resting in a white casket with his favorite toy and pictures of him and his brothers, he is placed in a pet cemetery . Frodo, Jordie and I are hurting and missing Blaze but we know it was best for everyone and most important Blaze, he deserved the best and I gave it to him as long as I could. Blaze was tired, scare and ready to be free. I will never forget Blaze, I promised him we would win this fight for him.
Blaze did not recovery from his last seizure, his life was no longer his so it was time to allow him to be free.
I whispered a secret to Blaze as he left me, part of it was, I honor his memory always and won't give up on our dreams, he is never gone, Blaze is with me always and will guide me through many tough days ahead.
I know that tomorrow is a new day, Jordie Mr. Frodo and I will be just ok we take one day at a time and hope for the best. Blaze is no longer suffering so that does give us some peace. Frodo and Jordie have become very close since Blaze became sick last year. Blaze was a trooper he tried his best but I knew he was telling me to allow him to go.
When you look in the sky tonight and see the brightest star, please know it's my sweet Golden Blaze watching over each of us.

Bio:
Dec 18/05 Blaze started having seizures, he is now on meds as we try to control the seizures Blaze has Epilepsy and it comes from his parents.
Many people have asked me about Blaze's seizures, what happens to him while seizure takes over his body and mind.
Well Canine Epilepsy is something I had never seen nor wanted to see, the seizures take control of the dog and the family.
Blaze has Idiopathic Epilepsy: meaning no known cause and possibly inherited.
What's the big deal about epilepsy? Why is such a fuss made over it? If a dog has a seizure, you give them pills once or twice a day and they live normal lives, right? Why should breeders remove dogs from their program who have produced seizures or have epileptic siblings?
Seizures are the result of muscle responses to an abnormal nerve-signal burst from the brain. They are a symptom of an underlying neurological dysfunction. Toxic substances, metabolic or electrolyte abnormalities and/or imbalances cause an uncoordinated firing of neurons in the cerebrum of the brain, creating seizures from mild "petit mal " to severe "grand mal".
Grand Mal is what Blaze has he falls down, loses consciousness and extends its limbs rigidly. Paddling of limbs, salivation followed by possible loss of control of bladder and bowels and vocalization (blood curdling scream) may follow. This may occur for 1-3 minutes and is most often followed by a period of restlessness, pacing, bumping into objects and loss of balance. (Post Ictal period) Blaze is conscious but may appear deaf, blind and disoriented. Great care must be taken to prevent the dog from injuring itself at this time.
A typical seizure unfolds like this: At 4:30 am you hear a loud bump as your dog falls off the bed. His whole body is rigid, with his neck pulled backward so strongly that his head nearly touches his back. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and his mouth is wide open - champing frantically at nothing, saliva spewing forth. His legs gallop nowhere. He empties his bladder, his anal glands, and often his bowels. This continues for up to several minutes, during which time he does not breath.
Lack of oxygen to the brain means death for brain cells. As the seizure declines, he is unconscious. Suddenly he snaps into a semblance of awareness, but is totally uncoordinated and often blind. He pulls himself up and staggers into a wall or a piece of furniture. Not having an understanding of why he isn't moving forward, he continues to shove blindly against the barrier until it moves or someone pulls him away from it. Over the next 20 minutes to several hours he gradually comes back to his senses.
Then the pacing begins. He doesn't know why, but he must pace - back and forth, back and forth - without end. This can go on for hours. Finally he goes into an exhausted sleep. With some luck, he doesn't "cluster" (having anywhere from 2 to over 50 seizures over the next 2-3 days) or go into status epilepticus (continual seizing that often means death). You try to go back to sleep for a few hours, praying that the seizures are over for now, and thanking God that he lived through this one.
Blaze's Seizures started Dec 18/05, he is on phenobarbital
to try and control and since it was not working Blaze now takes potassium aswell. It has worked pretty good as he has been monster froess since Sept 3rd. When will the next one come, we have no way to tell you that, it could be anytime, anywhere. Other dogs must be removed from the room, house as they can and will attack the dog while in a seizure.
Our life has changed as Blaze is now like a child that can never be left alone, Blaze's meds can not be late, I carry them with me incase we are in the car and he has a seizures, what then, I pull over and try to keep BLaze from getting hurt or hurting one of us.
I pray that with all the love of our family our babysitters, our wonderful Vet Dr Judy Hawthorne of Hawthorne Animal Hospital and everyone else who has helpped me learned about this disorder and the meds Blaze will live a long happy life. We hope to give him every chance he deserves
