gr8kids Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Oh this is hard news to take, poor girl. I know your are a nervous wreck Wendy! Remember positive thinking, be calm with her and keep telling her she is a fighter and has lots of prayers and support. Sending you hugs, a few roos and wet nose kisses!!! Your doing the best you can for her. Get the MRI sooner than later is my suggestion, less guessing games.

Blaidd49 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Stay positive if you can. I have seen dogs have quite severe idiopathic vestibular episodes without nausea or loss of appetite. Very much a case by case situation. Being a tripod is obviously a complicating factor. Doing "counter balancing" exercises with her will help. If she is food motivated that will help encourage her. Good luck and best vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiggysMom Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 OK, GT - I think you did it! I just got a call from the e-vet. They say she stood herself up this morning by leaning and pushing against the wall. They got her to walk with some assistance (she was leaning against the tech). Then she squatted to pee (still with assistance), but then, she decided to walk several feet ALL ON HER OWN!!! It wasn't easy for her, she is still very wonky, but all I needed was for her to not fight against being upright and want to try. It sounds like she is doing that now, so I am going to head over as soon as I get a few things prepped for her & hopefully BRING HER HOME! I've never cried tears of joy before, but I have now. Thank you all - I'll keep you posted.

TwiggysMom Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 She is home! It was really hard getting her out of the car (she was screaming, and I felt awful having to put her through that) but once I got her out I was able to carry her in to her bed, help her stand for a while, and then got her laying comfortably. Here she is posing for her picture... This was right after I got her home. She is zonked out with a pillow under her head now. (They like her to have her head raised a little). Thank you all again for all of the encouragement and good wishes. They have been tremendously helpful. She still has a very long way to go, but I am hopeful now that she can regain some relatively normal function. Her improvement also virtually rules out tumor as cause, so that is reason to celebrate as well!
