Beth, I am so very sorry to hear about Isis! Kitty had a smiliar episode last spring. I let her out into the yard and when she came back up the ramp she was dragging her right side, head was tilted, eyes were off to the side. Was very scary! The vet said she had a vestibular episode. Within 24 hours the symptoms were gone & thankfully we have not had this happen again. Keeping your sweet baby in my prayers. :hope

**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
