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.
