today I’ve learned more than I ever waned to know about ‘Old Dog Syndrome’ or canine idiopathic vestibular syndrome<\/b>… <\/p>\n

Last  night our older  dog Chai (14.5 years) .. one of my best friends ever… was starting to climb the stairs.. when she fell over. in the floor ..  few minutes later she fell into the fridge and really splayed her hind legs.. I could tell she was confused.. but she limped over to her bed and fell asleep. I sat with her until abot 1:30 as I blogged and she seemed ok..   This morning at 6 we woke to hear her struggling to stand.. We went down stairs and she was struggling to stand.. and very confused about what was going on. I carried her outside.. adn she staggered around like a drunken sailor.. she kept veering to the right. her head was swung way over.. and she kept falling..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She’s a healthy dog.. and regurlalry runs with us.. she’d run 2 miles with me yesterday..  but.. it looked bad.. real bad.. we figures she’d had a stroke. We got her comfortable and sat with her  until the vet was open. we carried her in thinkign that this was going to be not good news..<\/p>\n

Instead.. we learned that what she has is ‘Old Dog Syndrome’<\/a> .. or canine idiopathic vestibular syndrome<\/b>…  is  transient disturbance of a dogs vestibular system..its very common  It gives them wicked bad vertigo.. the room seems like its spin.. the dog cant walk well.. and is too nauseous to eat or drink..<\/p>\n

the good news it almost always goes away in a couple of days.. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I sat with chai all day and helped her walk, talked to  her.. and slept beside her<\/p>\n

\"\"  <\/p>\n

it was fun, sad and slow <\/p>\n

she’s already gettign better..<\/p>\n

Let’s see how tomorrow goes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really  love my dogs.. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

nite all. nite sam<\/p>\n
