Health:
Kenya was put down at home by vet because of idiopathic epilepsy that did not respond well on medication.
His medical records have been sent to his breeder 8/2010 & Finnish Pharaoh Hound Club.
Before Kenya I didnt know that pharaoh hound could have epilepsy. I have epilepsy myself and prior Kenya I owned a golden retriever with epilepsy. She lived almost 15 years old. In her case medication helped. Phenobarbital kept her seizures away. Medication helps me with my seizures too. Sadly that was not the case with Kenya. Phenobarbital made him awfully restless. I dont recommend phenobarbital for pharaohs. Sadly you dont have much choice about medication especially in Finland. There`s no creature more miserable in the world than pharaoh hound with epilepsy. My experience about epilepsy limited to generalized tonic-clonic seizures so the way Kenya`s epilepsy expressed itself wasnt what I was accustomed to. Kenya suffered mostly from partial seizures. Looking in his eyes and seeing that he wasnt there was very hard. Even on his last day I enjoyed the Kenya I knew & loved. He was ok around 10-16 at day time. He played with another dog we met in the forest and he looked so young, normal & carefree. I almost dared to hope but when evening came so came the demons back and I lost my precious Kenya to the illness I had never hated until it took my beautiful perfect Kenya. I am so sorry I couldnt save you.
Kesällä 2010 mietin paljon kysymystä: MIKSI? Ainoa vastaus, mitä mieleeni tuli, oli että Jumala tarvitsi taivaaseen täydellisen pikku farmi-pojan: Kenyan. Kadun vain sitä, että en ymmärtänyt päästää irti Kenyasta nopeammin. Rakkaus ei kuole koskaan. Anna pieni anteeksi.
To all epileptic pharaoh hounds before, during & after my Kenya:
