Dear All,
Have not been on COL for some time and I know some of you are aware of the reason and I thank you for your well wishes. If things could have possibly got worse they have!
This might be rather long.......
Went out for the 1st time in over nine weeks to the Teenage Cancer Trust concert at the Royal Albert Hall thursday night. Got back and noticed that Suzie's head and her front legs and chest were 'wobbling' from side to side. When she tried to walk she lost balance and was 'goose stepping'. We went to the vets at 1.00am. The vet thought she was having seizers or had had an epeliphic fit. She was kept in for observation. X-rays, blood tests done Friday which showed up no abnormalites, vet said he had not witnessed the 'wobbling' but would like to keep her in Friday night at no extra cost, and we could pick her up Saturday morning. Phoned up Saturday to see what time we could pick her up and he said she had started 'wobbling' and losing balance again 7.00pm Friday night. He put her under sedation to take fluid from her brain, which was ok. He said he is completely baffled with her symptons, gave us some tablets for epilipsy and said to see how she goes and come back Wednesday. He said the next stage is refering her to Neoscience and doing an MRI Scan.
Her wobbling from side to side is now consistent, her balance has deterioted, her back legs keep collapsing, her front legs keep slipping from underneath her. I have to phone the vet who is in surgery back at 2.30pm. This is just awful! Obviously Suzie's health is the main issue but the other problem we are having to deal with is that with my son being so ill my household paperwork got pushed to one side and I have now realised that her Insurance has lapsed! We paid the vet £350.00p on Saturday (just as well we are financially secure!)
Please keep your fingers crossed for us
