Friday Oct 2

This year marks five years since Kuma died and the date coincides with the same days of the week. Today, Friday October 2nd, Kuma was doing very well.

We had just gone to her Vet and received pills for Valium Diazepam a Bensodiazapine for cluster and prolonged seizures) and Phenobarbital (a long-acting sedative drug with anticulvulsant action to treat generalized, partial and tonic-clonic seizures. Friday, I tried the Valium and you can see that Kuma was a bit sleepy but she was still able to walk well just a bit wobly. You can see the video of her walking and sniffing on the front page of this website. Kuma was doing really well and yet this is just four days before she would be killed.

The vet suggested that I start Kuma on Phenobarbital pills at night before her sleep but I was worried that it would make her too drowsey and I thought I would wait a few days. She was doing so well and I wanted to enjoy her good days. But this was a big mistake.
