Just as we seemed to get on top of everything, one morning we hear a thud on the floor and the floor for a better word is wet.....
We didnt see who was their and never thought anything of it... until one Sunday, I was out with the girls, when a frantic phonecall came through... It was my hubby saying shes having some sort of fit...
We hurried her to vets, where they said it was eplilepsy and to keep a diary and not to panic...
We kept a diary for six months but the fits were getting worse and more severe... Her last main fit was in January 2007, she had 3 grand mal fits with sickness and runs, this time it was time for her to go on medication.
She started on Epiphen and the vet said he would reduce it once it got into her system... We were glad and soon the fits went... Her medication was reduced and reduced again Christmas 2007 but her fits returned so it was put back up to 60mg twice a day...
Shes a little minx unless a little meat is given she will spit it out... she waits for her twice daily treats and so far no more fits... thats my girl Rosie, you go girl...
We thought we were on top of everything then...

We love Rosie Button so much it's going to be very difficult being without her as she is a big part of our lives. i am not ashamed to admit that I cry quite a lot when I'm on my own and am finding it hard to be brave and strong at the moment.
I have, as we all have, been through some very difficult times throughout life, but this by far exceeds anything i have endured before. I really don't know how I am going to cope without her because she is my princess, she goes everywhere with me, whether it;s picking my mum up from the airport to going to the local shop, she is always there. When I did the dog runs (which I really miss doing), Rosie would come with me. Sh'es been to Tekkles, Teweksbury, Bowness, kendal, up and down the M6 more than the keenest of reps.
When sh goes a part of me will die also. I feel empty and my tummy is in bits. But, at this time she is still with us and we are going to makes these last few days very special for her and we may bring Christmas forward as I don't think she will be here for the real Christmas.
There are so many words than can be said but i doubt there is enough space here to do any sort of justice to Rosie. God bless you Rosie lets make the most of the time we have left.
Your ever loving friend.
