Khiori melts to floor and again goes into Grand mal. Kicking (paddling), foaming, barking. (I leave the room at this point to attempt to find a vet. This takes me about an hour - sometimes I'm able to return to room to help with Khiori while trying to think of who else to call) 4:29A : Seizure ends. Khiori sits up. Sean talks to her in quiet voice. I enter room and notice foul smell from Khiori's foaming. 4:31-4:32A : Grand Mal. Khiori melts to floor; kicking, no barking 4:36A : Grand Mal. Kicking, barking.
