So Far, So Good

The good news is that Nana has been seizure free for weeks now.  Of course being very superstitious I am almost afraid to write those words.  The seizures had started when I had moved her to a Blue Buffalo dry dog food chicken product.  I then heard of a problem Blue Buffalo had about a year ago with the possibility of too much vitamin D in certain product lines.  To much Vitamin D can cause a drop in calcium levels which are implicated in the type of seizures Nana was having.  The line I was feeding Nana was not one of the affected dog food product lines, never the less I decided to change from Blue Buffalo.  Nana was now having between three and four seizures a day.  I switched her on a Tuesday evening.  She had three seizures the next day, then two days without and then a very minor event on the following day.  After that we have been seizure free.  It has been three and half weeks now.  Now any good scientist will tell you that correlation is not causation.  If I was a good scientist I would put her back on the Blue Buffalo product and see if the seizures come back.    I guess I will never be a good scientist.
