MP_the4pack Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Oh wow, that's so wonderful. She sounded so bad, I was really afraid she was beyond help. What a wonderful miracle to have had. Can I offer a little suggestion? If she hasn't had her blood pressure done, get one. If for nothing else, a baseline. Dr. Couto did say greys get idiopathic hypertension. My Pearl had it and it did cause a stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Pearl had it and it did cause a stroke. Yes, they checked her BP at the office and we are to come back in next week for a recheck. It was elevated but he also felt it was because we took it at the height of the crisis.

greytdecals Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Wonderful news about Isis! If it truly was a FCE, her recovery is a miracle!

kamsmom Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Wonderful news about Isis! If it truly was a FCE, her recovery is a miracle! It took our Alan about 6 months of rehab to get him to the point that he is at and he is still partially paralyzed in his left hind leg. See, this is where I am totally confused by the entire thing. My vet says he still feels that it was a stroke but is willing to concede to the neurologist. The neurologist feels that it is an FCE because of the fast recovery from the steroid shot. This morning she still walks with a "high step" on her back right leg but I'll take it.

Graciehound Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) I'm glad to hear that Isis is doing so well. My Gracie had a stroke last June, and there is a thread on here somewhere about it. I'll look and post a link. Her's was due to previously undiagnosed hypertension. She is now on blood pressure meds and has recovered quite well. This summer, almost a year to date of her stroke, she had a TIA. Her recovery from that was much much quicker - like 12 hours from onset to recovery. Maybe Isis had a TIA? It's like a mini-stroke with a much quicker recovery.

KF_in_Georgia Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Greytalker Jen Bachelor (of Never Say Never Greyhounds) has a dog that had an FCE. Her related blog posts are here. The first post in the series is at the bottom of the screen, later posts at the top. And on the left side are tags, including Katie Rehab. And here's the good news for you: Katie's FCE happened in October 2007. It's nearly three years later, and Katie's still around. Today, Jennifer posted a video of 12-year-old Katie doing wheelies in the yard. They're about to start discouraging her from doing that because she keeps hurting her toes.
