Seizure

[Mathilda79]

Hi a Pitbull pup 9 months old we saved last weekend, who was covered in ticks, possibly with tick fever, was put on Doxydog, yesterday he started getting seizures, no matter what medication, no matter what the vet did, it got worse and worse, this morning 4 times in half an hour, we just put him out of his misery.

I feel so helpless, what happened, why, I wish I could have given him a better live, I feel broken inside

Oh you poor thing! You tried so hard to help him. You couldn't have done better than you did! If he had no hope, was suffering, wasn't improving, then it sounds like you made the right decision to put an end to it.

Tick-borne diseases are really serious. Not all Ticks carry them, but if they do, there is a real battle on. Not all dogs are strong enough to come through either the disease, or the long treatment.
The vet tried. You tried. Some people wouldn't have given that much, but you did.
It is so sad, and I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now. Prayers and hugs from me.
