Shadow collapsed again yesterday. She\u2019s ok, but a bit shaken up by it. That\u2019s the first time it\u2019s happened since January and Mum thought the problem had stabilised. It was early yesterday morning when she went out to the toilet. She stumbled on the way out, but nothing much. Then as she was finishing peeing she just keeled over on her side. Mum says it\u2019s strange, she would expect a fainting dog to go straight down, but that\u2019s not what happens. One second she is standing and the next she\u2019s hit the ground flat on her side and unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She regained consciousness quickly and the weird thing is her eyes are open when she\u2019s unconscious. She didn\u2019t move for ages when she\u2019d come round and seemed to have no idea where she was. Eventually Mum picked her up to carry her back inside and Shadow frantically kicked her legs which actually seemed to help. Mum put her down and she was able to walk, but then simply pooed all the way back to the house as she walked, completely clueless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum is glad she has a vet visit planned for next week for a check up as she can talk it through then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a brighter note, we heard from Rocky, Shadow\u2019s brother. He\u2019s been ill but thankfully has recovered and is enjoying his old age. He\u2019s in Portugal at the moment and enjoying some sunshine. I think he\u2019s probably got the right idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel almost guilty saying what a lovely day I had by contrast. We had a lovely walk in the sunshine at Oakley Wood and it really blew the cobwebs away. Then I came home and helped Mum gardening. Shadow stayed indoors as Mum didn\u2019t want to risk her eating any apples in case that is what has upset her system. Ari watched as Mum and I planted two of the cherry bushes for him. When I say watched, he said he was supervising. As long as the weather is good we will get the last of the bushes in today, then there are two roses to plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
