Can you describe some more details regarding the seizure activity to know better? Sleep deprivation can be one of the triggers for seizure activity. It need not always happen at night. You may consult a neurologist for complete check up and investigations including a sleep study. Take care and share your thoughts.
I hope you are being prescribed this med by your OB/GYN. My nursing pharmacology book lists Zoloft TWICE under "Precautions!" I am not a doctor nor a pharmacist, but I would sure as hell get on the phone with my OB and discuss the use of this med while pregnant.
As far as drinking milk with Zoloft, again my nursing book actually recommends drinking milk with the Zoloft if you're having any GI symptoms.
It sounds like a possible seizure. They can manifest in many different ways and it's not uncommon to see that head tilting behavior. It's also typical to that they need to sleep quite a while after having a seizure.
Since he's had two episodes that you know of, it's definitely time to see your vet. Try not to panic. I know seeing a seizure of any kind is extremely scary, but epilepsy in dogs can usually be well-managed with medications.
He was placed on Keppra 500mg orally twice a day for seizure precautions due to the fall. He has been on the medication for approximately three weeks. He is tired, blah, and feels short of breath. I know it will take time to heal but do you know how long he should have to be on the medication and/or how long he will feel this way? I'm not sure how much activity to encourage. If you have any information or advice to ask the neurologist, I would greatly appreciate it!!
It would depend on the cause of the seizures. Also some medications can lower the seizure threshold including many antipsychotics but only a doctor or psychiatrist would understand this in full. It would be worthwhile to discuss these concerns with them and what the appropriate means of follow up would be.

The only ways adults get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. There are certain occupational risks in nursing but a closed scab is not a risk. I would bone up on some education if you are going to continue in this field so that you aren't anxious over things like this and understand where you need to use precautions. And you don't wear gloves when handling things? Anyway, no risk here on this situation.

I am taking a microbiology class starting next week. The microbiology class has a lab component. My partner and I are trying to conceive, and I hope to be pregnant by October. This will be the middle of the semester. My OB says to use "Universal Precautions" in lab, and I should be fine. I'm seeking a second opinion to ease my mind. Is there any reason I should postpone a pregnancy while taking a microbiology class/lab?

If it is confirmed that your events are due to seizures, you would need to be started on seizure medications (anti-epileptic drugs). It is important to assume seizure precautions as well, such as not driving or being in situations in which you could injure yourself or others if you had a seizure, such as standing on a height or swimming unsupervised.
Thank you for using the forum, I hope you find this information useful, good luck.

change in alertness, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, headache, loss of coordination or balance, difficulty moving any body part, seizure, vision and sensation changes. Surgery is done to repair or remove structures causing the bleed. How well a patient does depends on the size of the hematoma and the amount of swelling. There may be a complete recovery, or some permanent loss of brain function. Talk to your doctor about this for proper management. Take care and best regards.
If you are taking a plan wipe everything in your seat area down with baby wipes and keep you baby covered with a nursing cover as much as possible. Baby will have none of their shots and it will be very dangerous if he or she catches something. Also wait to buy tickets...
