Sometime after 4.00 am this morning Hattie has had a mini stroke. I was awake and she was absolutely fine. She is unable to stand up, her head is tilted slightly and her eyes are flickering (Nystagmus). This has happened so very suddenly from yesterday enjoying a 5 mile walk, playing tug with Charlie, outside with my sons, eating, drinking, toileting everything normal to this. We went straight to the vet who took bloods and gave her Vivitron. She said she could return to normal so we have to wait and see over the coming days. She is snuggled up with me in bed, we are snug as bugs.

We know that if there's no improvement we will have to make the kindest decision for our beautiful girl. We're heartbroken. xx

I'm devastated for you. I'll be thinking of you and watching for any updates xx

This is such sad news @Charlie and I can't imagine how heartbroken and anxious you must be. I'm so sorry and I hope beautiful Hattie makes a good recovery.

So sorry to hear about this, @Charlie. Thinking of you and send loads of positive vibes for a good recovery.

 

[Lisa]

So sorry to hear this! Hope you are ok. Sounds like you have some other possible diagnoses to pursue. Hope you are able to get to the bottom of it.

 

[M.F.]

I’m so sorry @Charlie. Hattie has a special place in my heart—she’s such a precious dog. I do hope she makes a full recovery. I can imagine how heartbroken you must feel. Thinking of you and sending much love xxx

How is Hattie this morning Helen

How is Hattie this morning Helen

Thanks Cath. No change, David lifted Hattie to her feet which she can't do herself and she managed to stand. She ate half her dinner last night but only a little breakfast. We are worried that she hasn't had a poo since Wednesday and no wee since yesterday morning at 8.30 am. David carries her outside but she won't or can't go. I have called the vet just waiting for a call. This is awful xxx


Thank you everyone for your lovely messages, it really helps to know you are all there for Hattie. xxx

Hang in there Helen. I know how tough those early days are. It’s heartbreaking to see them like that. If it is vestibular then there is every chance Hattie will recover.
