I had my colon removed due to UC and now my Dr. thinks I actually have Crohn’s Disease.

After suffering with ulcerative colitis for 18 years I had a total colectomy in 2019. I had an ileostomy bag for about 9 months had my j-pouch surgery (emergency surgery when my small intestine was twisted causing a blockage). I just want to cry-I went through hell with this surgery and finally felt good for a couple of years and now I feel sick again and my doctor thinks I have Crohn’s. I just need to vent to someone who understands-thanks for listening. 😢

Cluster seizures *trigger warning*

My corgi is only 4 years old and started having cluster seizures in May. He started phenobarbital and was good for about 3 months until 2 weeks ago when he had 8-10 cluster seizures in one day. He went to the Neuro vet and came home with 2 rescue meds and his phenobarbital dosage increased to 64.8mg twice a day. I’m so scared about his long term quality of life. Does anyone else have a young dog who has seizures and is able to manage it well? This was the end of one of his seizures.
