Well...
We picked Luna up from the vet earlier today. They informed us that Luna has a vestibular neurological condition. It's what is commonly referred to as old dog syndrome, she's approximately 6-8 (dog) years old.
The vet is confident that it is a temporary situation and will clear up within three weeks.
Friday morning Luna looked death-bed-weak and we weren't sure if she'd survive...what a morning...what a couple of days...
She's home now and seems to be starting to relax...poor old girl...one of the symptoms of the condition is that she can only turn in one direction...for her it's right...she can't go left.
She was a real warrior today when she tried to walk straight across the livingroom from me to Loren...she overcame the impulse to veer off to the right...it was obvious how much work it was for her.
And she also has arthorsis in the form of hip displaysia, also common for larger dogs. She's going to be on medication for a while now, if not for the rest of her life.
We're very happy to have her back home.
