Could she have helped the goats on their foraging escapade?

No is the answer Annie. The dogs are never allowed out the back area for the simple reason is they would go after the animals and 2 of them would more than likely be straight in to the river!

Anything else she could have eaten?  The goats wouldn't have taken some leaves back inot the front yard would they?  I know you've probably gone over and over the possible causes, sorry if I'm just putting you throught it again, James, trying to help.

Not at all Annie but again the answer to that is No. She's still not back to how she used to be, still seems quiet at times. However, she is still on medication and perhaps that is making her tired. I did take the 3 of them along the beach the other day and she ran about like a mad man.

Thanks John. Gynty is doing well, with cancer it is just wait and see. However, she is showing no signs of being unwell so hopefully she will go on for a long time. Topsy is also doing well, just gone in to season which is the last thing she needed as this makes her quiet and miserable. Apart from that we are doing grand. Cheers. Our vet bill so far this year has been horrendous, but what else can we do?

[Farmer]

Wish I knew the answer James...maybe we should have both become vets...at least we would be receiving the money instead of paying it out!!

Good luck
John

[jameslindsay]

I'm sitting here waiting for the vet to phone as I am taking Topsy in to see her. She is sitting rolling her head like you know when you are sitting in a chair and you can't keep your eyes open and your head keeps falling to the side - that's what she's doing.

[RUSTYME]

fingers crossed James . The poor  girl is having a time of it  !! All the best mate .....

cheers

[jameslindsay]

The vet is sure it is all to do with her being in season, I am not convinced and don't think things look good for her. Fingers crossed!

[Farmer]

My thoughts and best wishes are with you James...hope everything works out for both of you

Did the vet mention strokes at all?  They manifest themselves differently in dogs from humans, and that sounds a bit like one to me. 

[jameslindsay]

No mention of stroke but Liz did mention that too. I am taking her to the vets at 3.00pm as we are sure she is "swaying". The worry is that with her having liver failure it has effected her neurological system. This does seem to fit in with the lack of balance.

Dam!! poor dog and poor you, sounds like a stressful time.

hope the vet visit went ok James?  thinking of you...

Fingers crossed James
