I thought I was losing her last night.
I am not kidding about this. She couldn't get up couldn't walk to me her head stated shaking to and fro and then sitting down next to her to reassure her(an d debate weather or not to go to the emergency vet) I noticed her eyes where jerking back and forth so hard her whole eye socket and eyebrow was moving in the rhythm of the jerking! I thought she had a stroke she is going to die on me tonight....
I got home( I am such a coward but I couldn't sit there and watch her die!) I looked into my medical book.. Now I know pets aren't human but I read somewhere that dogs can get the same diseases as people and vice versa, so I looked in the index-jerking eyes and came up with Meniere's Disease a disease of the inner ear, water builds up and causes pressure behind the eyes causing the jerking and lose of coordination's all the symptoms Muff was showing...I call the emergency vet and they said it was the same disease but it is called Vestibulare disease in dogs. She needs antibiotics and a steroid to correct the problem. When I said I couldn't bring her in they told me to put her in a dark room with water and food and leave her there because the light was playing tricks on her and she couldn't see where she was, in the dark it would be better for her. So I called mom and told her to change Hiedi and Tiger around and let muffin sleep alone and this morning she looked at me and looked a little better but the Damn vet wont take my check so she has to be like this for 4 days until Monday when I HOPE I get the check I was supposed to get yesterday....
My stress level was so high last night I fell asleep rereading Harry potter and it was over my face this morning at 3:50 when I woke up!(there is a cat that walks on the front porch, which one good night when Hiedi is home that'll stop she loves chasing things out of her yard!)
That was my night I hope everyone else's was less stressful.....
