Default Please keep Brandi in your thoughts

I had to rush her to the emergency vet last night because of pacing back and forth, drooling, disorientation and getting stuck in corners. The vet thought she may be blind or she has cognitive dysfunction and that I may want to think about euthansia.

Her vital signs were good and I told the vet she just had her annual checkup with came back a clean bill of health. She had blood work, urinalysis and stools sample all of which came back with no problems.
My vet was concerned about her eye and she was taking to different eye drops as well as an antibiotic for UTI, other than that my vet thought she was doing great.

On Friday she started the anti biotic and that's when things started going down hill. Because of the storm (i'm in Delaware, I could not get her to the vet). By Monday she seemed to be doing okay and was eating fine and had started to perk up. By Tuesday the pacing started and by Tuesday night she was drooling and barely able to walk. I took her to the emergency vet where he thought she may be totally blind.

I told him I was not going to make any decisions until she has seen a specialist. He recommended I either take her to a neurologist or an internist. I setup an appointment to take her to the internist for tommorrow at 3:00pm.


The emergency vet give her a sedative and she is now resting comfortably. I also have some buprenex to help with pain as well. I am not giving up on her. Whatever it takes I will make sure she gets the care she needs.
