Message From Patch

She says Hi to everyone and sorry she has not been on but last weekend she went off to a show with her dogs and one of them "Gremlin" started to get wobbly on her legs soon after arriving and was not looking to good so she left show and headed straight to the vets.
Vet was not sure if she had had a stroke or it was something else, so Patch has been sitting with her constantly so she doesn't get stressed or worried. Her head is apparently slightly tilted to one side too and Patch feels sure it it something wrong deep inside the ear.
Gremlin will go back and see Patch's own vet on Monday.
Gremlin is a little stronger now but still has the head tilt and still abit wobbly.
I know you will all join me in sending positive healing thoughts that Gremlin is soon better again.

Sorry to hear this, healing vibes being sent and hugs to Patch.
My BC had a 'stroke' 3 years ago, I read up a lot, they are called 'strokes' in dogs, but aren't actually 'strokes' as we know them. They are not sure what actually causes them, but one suggestion is that it is something deep within the ear. It is a scary thing to watch, my BC lay on his side and flew into the air flipping onto his other side, I have never seen and never want to see anything like it again. Keeping the dog quiet and calm and out of really bright light is said to help...big hugs.

ps you wouldn't know he'd had it now, but he has been on restricted exercise ever since as too much MAY trigger another attack. They can and do recover, but you have to be more careful with them from then on. Better that though huh? Love to Patch and Gremlin

Hugs to Patch and Gremlin! Positive vibes your way.

Poor Gremlin

Hope he gets well quickly

Hi MM thank you for the message. Best wishes to Patch and Gremlin, I think it sounds rather like Vestibular Disease rather than a stroke though it is not wise to speculate because it could be a number of things ...

I do hope Gremlin is okay and my thoughts are with them both. Hugs for Patch and Gremlin

Please God, Gremlin will get better soon. Poor Patch must be so worried and I'd bet she is not getting any sleep. We miss Patch on the board. Kisses from Oscar xx

Oh goodness, thanks for letting us know - poor Patch must be so worried

I've missed her on Dogsey and hope Gremlin will be recovering well - sending lots of good thoughts and hugs to Patch and Gremlin...
