| Here is a photo of her with her tilted little head. |
Something bad has happened to my dog Cynder. I'm not
sure if she's had a stroke or if it's Vestibular Syndrome. The symptoms
fit both diagnosis. Last night she kept loosing her balance and falling
over and she wouldn't eat even while I was feeding
her. When I took her for a walk she walked in circles and then fell
over. She couldn't even make it up the first step (I usually carry her
down and sometimes she walks up). She's had minor episodes like this and
they have mostly passed.
Tonight when I got home Paul pointed out that here head was tilted and sure enough her head is now permanently tilted to the side. She wobbles when she walks and collapses and wouldn't eat her food tonight (although she did eat some peperoni). I know she's over 15 years old and that she doesn't have a lot of time left, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier. I've been holding here and giving her kisses and she's kissing back. A trip to the vet is in order now, even though I don't really have the money for it, and I pray for the best for my stinky little pup.
I'm going to snuggle up with my stinky, crooked pup. Hopefully she will be well enough for another match of tongue wars in the morning. Good night everyone.

Sorry to hear this...she is a wonderfully cute little dog :)
Poor Cynder, Hope She Gets Better Soon!
Wishing her good thoughts for a speedy recovery and many more tongue licks.
I am so terribly sorry to hear about Cynder. I know from experience how incredibly difficult and painful this can be. I also know she has had wonderful, blessed life with you. Hugs to both of you.
So sorry to hear this. Please keep us posted. Best wishes.
Nick....So sorry to learn of Cynder's condition. The close reality of losing a beloved dog is so difficult. I went through that when my one-eyed beagle, Annie, was hit by a car (and the asshole driver sped away) in 2007. Annie was about 10 years old at the time. And she had a damned good life considering that I was her third owner and she was abused to the point by the first that her eye had to be removed. But Miss Annie had a fantastic life. She went on more road trips from Philadelphia to the Florida Keys than most twinks! :-) :-) When the time comes, just keep holding on to all of the wonderful memories of your pup!!!
