2greyhoundMINI Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Our poor June was rushed to the vet this morning... she had thrown up, was shaking, drooling profusely and could hardly stand. I was able to get her outside this morning to go potty, but she couldn't stand and just laid down. We had to carry her out to the car to get her to the vet. The vets seem to think she has Vestibular Disease with all her symptoms. Full blood work was done along with X-rays to rule out her having ate something. Everything came back negative, so they think they are the right path. She also has no history of seizures which they were a little concerned about. She was admitted and will stay overnight for observation, stabilization and fluids... she was so upset when we brought her in they had to give her a little Valium. Assuming it is what they think, she should be fine in a few days. Prayers for a quick recovery.

Neighsayer Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 My eleven year old had a serious episode and was fine in a few days. The only evidence was a slight head tilt that she had for months. She lived until almost thirteen, and never had another episode. Hope you have a similar resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping she doesn't have another episode... it was pretty scary. The vet said she most likely will not have another one, and should be back to herself in a few days.

2greyhoundMINI Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Thx everyone! Weird she is not in the house tonight, but I know she is in good hands, and glad she is being monitored. Also, my vet practice is very knowledgeable with greys which is awesome.

My Gigi had one vestibular episode when he was 12 yo, it was very very scarying because it happened while he was going downstairs and he fell. Luckily he didn't break any bone and he was fine in a few days, he didn't have any other episode for the rest of his life and he left us when he was 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx again for the positive comments. The only thing that has me slightly concerned is the vet said this happens in "older" dogs... June is 7 (will be 8 in June). I don't really consider her old, but I guess that is?

Guest Cilla Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Gigi was a lab cross but he had however a long life for a dog of his size, we where really blessed also because he survived to two very bad mastocitomas when he was 7 and 9. June seems young to me too for a vestibular desease but sometimes it just happens, our sheperd dog Dora developed a very bad arthritis when she was only 6, now she's 12 and she's been on a regular pain therapy for 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2greyhoundMINI Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) How is she this morning? Thx for asking... the vet called us this morning around 8:45. She is doing much better he said. Able to get up on her own, and very light assistance with a sling to help her with her hind legs which are still a little bit wobbly. He said she is alert and seems calm and more herself this morning, so it definitely sounds like this episode is passing. They are going to ween her off the IV fluids and hopefully we can get her this evening to bring home. She will have some anti-nausea meds for a while to take. So overall, things sounds great! I appreciate everyone's prayers and well wishes Edited March 17, 2017 by 2greyhoundMINI Quote Greyhounds: Amelia (Cataloosahatchee 9.10.17) & Carmen (Rebellious Bird 8.23.17) Kitty: Biggi Paws (7.4.13) Horse: WC Kharena (2.28.17) Rainbow Bridge: Raider Kitty (4.1.01 - 8.12.21), Sidney (Kane's Seminole 11.14.08 - 9.26.19 ), June (Potrs June 6.1.09 - 3.1.19) Bella the Rottweiler, Kitties: Spike, DC, Gilda, Killer, Sophie & Nala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2greyhoundMINI Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Hey, I am late giving an update: June came home yesterday afternoon. She was very happy to be home and happy to see us. For the most part she is doing well. BUT! She seems to be having issues with her one hind leg. I am not sure if it's residual from this episode? If she hurt her hip when she fell multiple times? Or if she really did have a seizure? For now we are keeping her on a leash when we let her out despite her wanting to take off running. She has a great appetite and thirst, and her poop and pee schedule is normal. She is behaving very normal. Hopefully we can put this whole thing behind us.

2greyhoundMINI Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thank you all! She was her usual shiny self this morning wanting to go out and get her breakfast.

Fiona3 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm glad that June is home and doing better. She may need another week or so to totally recover. Our Hobbes had Vestibular Disease exhibiting the same symptoms as June. Although he was on his feet again within a day, he was a little wobbly for a week to ten days. Then he seemed to bounce back to normal as his legs got stronger. The snow, I am sure, isn't making it easier for June. Good luck and best wishes for her total recovery.

2greyhoundMINI Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Just a quick followup.... June is 99% back to her old self. She is still on antibiotics to be safe. The only thing now is she doesn't want to do stairs anymore. I think falling up and/or down them during her episode freaked her out. For now we are letting her skirt them. Our house allows us to have her go in and out from the family room and avoid stairs. Eventually we will work on getting her confident to tackle stairs again. She was never great with them in the first place... she would balk at them and have to "psych herself up" to go up and down them, so this isn't a shock to us. Just wanted to let you all know how she was doing Edited March 29, 2017 by 2greyhoundMINI Quote Greyhounds: Amelia (Cataloosahatchee 9.10.17) & Carmen (Rebellious Bird 8.23.17) Kitty: Biggi Paws (7.4.13) Horse: WC Kharena (2.28.17) Rainbow Bridge: Raider Kitty (4.1.01 - 8.12.21), Sidney (Kane's Seminole 11.14.08 - 9.26.19 ), June (Potrs June 6.1.09 - 3.1.19) Bella the Rottweiler, Kitties: Spike, DC, Gilda, Killer, Sophie & Nala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
