It's WORSE Than I Thought - The Vet lied to us!

• The Vet said that she decided as a Vet to not give Kuma even the minimum dose of Phenobarbital the anticonvulsant because she felt Kuma's heart could not take it and she would die.
• She did not tell me or Cheryl of her decision to stop Kuma's medication. She called me on the phone and said everything was the same and not to hurry in.
• In effect, the Vet decided on her own to let Kuma wake up and then die by seizing.
• This is NOT what the other Vets had planned. They were optimistic that the Phenobarbital would stabilitize Kuma which it did and then she would wake up. It was the Valium that was keeping her asleep and the Valium was stopped to allow her to wake up.
• She agreed that Kuma was waking up and said it was because she wasn't given the Phenobarbital (which is not a strong sedative like Valium) and not because Kuma was just waking on her own.
• I believe that Kuma would have woken up even on the Phenobarbital and would have recovered the same as she did from her last seizure. And after her recovery, she would have had the benefit of anticonvulsant medication and a stronger anti-inflamatory medication.
• When I watched Kuma starting to wake up, it was exactly the same as when she woke up before from her other seizures.

The Vet had planned for Kuma to die by not giving her the anticonvulsant medication then waking up and going back into a continuous seizure. This is much worse than I could have imagined.

The Vet Dr. Lefebre has lied to me and to Cheryl.

• At 11 am when she called and when I came in later, she said Kuma had not changed and showed no signs of waking up. She said Kuma would never wake up. Later, on the phone, she agreed that Kuma was waking up like I said she was.
• She said she did not give Kuma her dose of Phenobarbital because she was worried that her heart could not take it and she would die. But, unless there is something I don't know, she had no basis to think that Kuma's heart was weak or that a minimum dose of Phenobarbital would kill her.
• She said that Kuma had been already given "massive, massive" doses of Phenobarbital. In talking earlier with the other Vet this is not true. The other Vet told me they did not give Kuma the starting dose all at once because they did not know her liver values and they broke up the dose into four smaller doses to be on the safe side which is why it was taking longer to stabilize Kuma and stop her seizures. The concern was for her liver and not her heart.
• She said that Kuma was waking up because she didn't receive her last dose of Phenobarbital. I do not believe this is true. Kuma was waking up because we had stopped giving her Valium and would have woken up just the same if she was given the minumum dose of Phenobarbital.

The Vet planned to kill Kuma. She called and told me not to hurry in because she was hoping Kuma would go into a seizure so that she could then kill her. She thought Kuma was too old and the staff couldn't stand to look at her. This is why they closed the glass doors on her. And, they told me nothing about this for the three hours that I was there. The Vet knew exactly what would happen to Kuma without her medication.

When I told her how Kuma had died seizing for 30 minutes, she said that she was sorry that I had to see this.
