Don't give up yer day jobs Kyle, you hooplehead, iz my points.
Happy is showing signs of improvement, we think. Some episodes of wobbling and weakness today, but by and large she was putting forth a great effort to be her usual self.
We got lab results from the vet, which showed her thyroid was "way too high." She's been on the supplement for a long time, and it is monitored, so we don't know how it suddenly got so far out of range. But high thyroid can cause dizziness, disorientation, etc. So we're really hoping that she hasn't had a stroke after all, and that she'll be OK when her thyroid level goes down.
We had a very scary event with our Happy dog today. We all thought we were about to lose her, but she seems to have rallied and gotten past the crisis.
Over the past few days, Happy had about 3 of what seemed to be dizzy spells, with a little disorientation. It passed in a few minutes. So we made an appointment and this morning Dad took her to the vet. They did blood work and a general checkup and sent her home. She seemed fine.
After the vet visit, Happy had another episode, much worse. She had trouble standing, walking, and walked in circles, and she was very weak.
We took her back to the vet. The doctor kept her for a couple of hours' observation and some fluids. She thinks Happy has had a series of small strokes or TIAs. She prescribed a very low dose of asprin in solution; about 1/30th of a baby asprin.
We'll get the lab results tomorrow. In the mean time, Happy seemed better this evening. She ate her dinner and some cookies, and ran a little in the yard, though we were trying to keep her quiet. And when I left, she got up and followed me to the door.
Broken heart don't feel so bad Ain't got half a what you thought you had Rock your baby to and fro Not too fast and not too slow
Here's a photo I took of Happy with my phone this afternoon.
And here's a little phone video. I can't tell you how nice it was to hear this little voice.
It was good weekend for a Happy dog. We wents fur walks, to parks, da beech, and we eated cookies. Dis wittle video was taken at Tasha's favorite place in Carpinteria, in the middle of a Happy sunny afternoon. Der was lots of peoples and dogs. It was pretty great, sept that Kyle woodnt lets me stick my nose in da weeds. He sed der was foxtails, but I didn't see no foxes, didn't even smell 'em.
On July 8, 2009, we took off Happy's leash and collar so she could run free across The Rainbow Bridge. So she's waiting there with all of our loved ones, until we catch up too.
Please feel free to browse through her old posts. She had a special way of writing, ending many messages with, "Sniff Ya Later."
