 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.
