Marge and I were just about to head out for dinner, when Maxine just keeled over, shook, and started peeing. Marge picked her up and her tongue was turning purple, and she seemed like a rag doll. I thought she had died. She then vomited and pooped on Marge, but seemed to come back to life. We made record time to the Vet. Fortunately our vet was still there. They were waiting for us, and took her in the back and started IV fluids, blood work, etc.

As of now, the Vet believes she suffered a stroke, or has a possible Brain Tumor. They are keeping her overnight for observation, and will keep her hydrated. Hopefully, she will be coming home tomorrow as she perked up after the IV, and is not as lethargic. We are back home, but Marge is going to drive her bed to the Animal Hospital. We left her blanket there with her for comfort. Maxine is over 14, but you never expect it. It just happened so fast. If we had left just one minute earlier, we most likely would have found her on the floor. Been a hell of a night. We were going to the Arlington Million tomorrow, but will stay home instead and keep an eye on her when she comes home.
