    Isis May Have Had A Stroke

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    **UPDATE**

     

    Beth just called me, she can't update right now because she's waiting at the airport to pick up her daughters, whose flight has been delayed. She will update everyone here in more detail later tonight.

     

    She asked me to pass along the basic info from today's appointments.

     

    Isis was able to walk this afternoon with only a small residual amount of oddness in one back foot, with high steps, almost walking as though that foot is numb. She was sedated for the MRI, and the results were inconclusive. No abnormalities were found at all. No visible bleeds, spine looks great for a dog her age. She came out of sedation fine and is now conked out at home.

     

    There is still uncertainty whether it was a stroke or FCE, but the neurologist is leaning toward FCE, based on how fast she seems to be recovering.

     

    So the bad new is they still don't really know exactly what happened, but the REALLY GOOD NEWS is that she is getting better. Her regular vet was astounded.

     

    Also a little Ivy update: aside from gunky ears, she is also currently doing very well. Appetite is still great. Almost too great-- she ate so much yesterday her tummy was bulging. :lol

     

    I'm thrilled and honored to be able to pass along such wonderful news! :yay

    At the neuro office and reading from my phone while waiting. Thanks everyone. On a good note... Isis walked in by herself. My vet called and said that could be a really good sign that we may be dealing more with FCE since she is better today and she had the steroid shot last night. The MRI should tell us more.

     

    :goodluck :goodluck

    <br />Aw Sparks... My second-favorite black boy-o. <img src='http://forum.greytalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> I wish my Tipper were doing as well, weight-wise.<br />
    Has he lost a lot of weight?

    I meant to ask how he's doing when I saw you Sat but again was a zombie and out of it.

     

    Yeah. He had a long bout of vomiting and/or diarrhea. Took me a while to figure out he just can't digest kibble anymore. Now that he's eating raw, he's doing MUCH better. But still needs to pack some weight back on. And his back legs are pretty wobbly these days. :(
