I am overwhelmed by all the encouraging and supportive messages and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the love, the best wishes and prayers for Elvis. :grouphug:

We had a good night and Elvis continues to be his happy self. I have noticed he has been drinking more water, but that is most likely due to the medication he is on. He hasn't lost his appetite, in fact if he could have two lunches or two dinners in a row he would gladly have them! :)

A few hours from now, we will be going to the vet and when we are back home, I will give you the latest news on my boy's condition.

We are home from the vet's and the appointment went well, he did another check on my boy and was pleased with how he is doing, he checked his reflexes, coordination, the temperature and his heart.
We all agreed to not go through with the head scan just yet, Elvis would have to be put under anaesthesia and it's best to wait a while longer given the fact he had the seizures two days ago. He also has never been put under, so we don't really know what kind of side effects he would have from it.
The treatment he has been on finishes tomorrow and after that we will see how he goes, hopefully he will be seizure free. We are prepared to administer the Stesolid medicine in case Elvis has more seizures, we will always have a box of it ready to be used at home and when travelling.

These last few days haven't been easy, I was finally able to have a more peaceful night of sleep and to sigh of relief.
Elvis continues to be his boisterous self, barking loudly whenever someone knocks on the door or when he is about to go out for his walks.
It's as if nothing bad has happened over the weekend. :)

It's also great to see him greeting the birds each morning, he feels protective over them and has scared away many stray cats that dared to come to the back yard when I had a few birds outside to get some sun and fresh air. He wouldn't let the cats get near the cages.
His favourite bird used to be my now departed Tito and ever since then Elvis took a liking to Tito's daughter, Dinda. It's very sweet to see him approaching the cage to have a little sniff and Dinda comes close to him to say hi.
Elvis droops his ears and wags his tail every time. The two of them have a good understanding and her cage is the only that gets these type of visits throughout the day, not just in the mornings when Elvis does his check on them all to see if everybirdie is well.

Elvis and I would like to thank you all again for your good vibes, positivity and prayers, you have helped us tremendously. :tb::urock:
