yesterday around 6pm my mom called me up hysterical crying saying midnite (our 15 y/o springer) might have had a stroke. she couldnt stand up, he legs went out from under her, her eyes kept rolling back and she just kept looking up at the sky (she's blind tho, so thats kinda what was scarey). of course it's sunday night, and easter, so our vet wasnt open. we had to drive out of town to find an emergancy vet, and by the time i met her there middy was trying to stand up again, but the head and eye things were still going. to make this whole ordeal even scarier, my former dog, smokey, had to be put to sleep 3 years ago when her back legs gave out and she could no longer stand due to degerative mylopethy, 3 years ago this week.
well, low and behold, middy has geriatric vestibular syndrome. which is weird, cause smokey got that about 2 years before she died, and we had never heard of it before then. so i guess my question is, is that common? i mean, smokey was a different breed.
