| Sabrina had a mini stroke!! Sunday p.m. she started with her ears twitching and carrying her head sideways, walking hunched up and licking her lips. When I'd touch her head/face she would twitch. I couldn't figure out what on earth was wrong! She wouldn't eat/drink etc. Monday a.m. to the vet and he said she acted like she had a mini stroke! She's nearly 10 years old, 4.5 pounds. He gave her some shots and said he didn't think the symptoms would keep up because it was a mini stroke. Sure enough by middle of afternoon, the twitches stopped, she was eating for me and today she's playing, etc. again. It scared me to death. I was having panic attacks. I'm retired and she's all the company I have. Just so relieved I had to tell someone. Oh - downside of her being better - now when she hears a pill bottle - she runs and hides under my bed! HA. I have started laying her pills out with mine while she hides, the she tiptoes back down the hall and I take my pills and she thinks that's it - I feed her and then grab her and get her pills down. It's sssssssooooooo funny. How smart these little darlings are. frankie - sabrina's mom |

| I'm sooo glad she's better. How scary for you! If you wrap some deli meat around her pills, she'll gobble them up. lol I'm retiring next month. I'm sooo excited. I can't wait. Mainly to spend more time with my 2 yorkies, and of course my husband. lol My email is: spydurgurl@gmail.com if you want to "talk" more! C'ya. Ro |

| I hope Sabrina will soon be back to her normal self and continue to be your companion for many years to come I had a cockatoo that had a stroke, he recovered and had no problems after that. He was an aged bird when he had it and as of 9 yrs later never had a relapse.I hope that is the same in your case too. Good luck. dawn |

| Thank you all for your support.. She's still doing okay, thank you all for your support. I'm a mess, of course. Sabrina has always been a difficult pill taker, probably because she won't eat hardly anything but her very own food! It's a blessing and a curse. When I hide pills in something she has always, and I mean always, kind of nibbled with her front teeth until the pill pops out. I have tried brusweiger (that soft sausage stuff - I can't spell it), peanut butter, steak slit and pill inserted, putting in her pupperoni's, wrapping it in ham, crushing it and putting it something - hamburger - everything I can think of. She is just too smart. She has never been a "beggar" - she doesn't like people food that much, and what she eats and likes is "soft" food (that's why the tooth surgery last week). She loves fish - not breaded, not shrimp, salmon, tuna - just plain old fish, her natures balance dog food, every once in a while she'll want a taste of ham or turkey. BUT, when the Grandbabies are here - she will steal whole slices of pizza and hide them - grab weinies and run, eat cereal, cookies, drink spilt milk - I have no idea why except maybe jealousy or not wanting to miss anything! I bought a pill pusher and we get it done even in her small mouth. Thank you all for your concern. |
