š¾ Beetlesā little wobbleā š
Beetle has been a bit under the weather lately. On a walk the other morning, she suddenly became unsteady on her feet, and her eyes began flickering from side to side, a condition called nystagmus.
It made her feel very nauseous and uncoordinated. She didnāt want to eat and quickly lost her confidence going up and down the stairs. š
We started her straight away on medication to treat her for senior vestibular disease, which is a lot like vertigo or like a mild stroke in people. We took a blood sample to check her internal organ and thyroid function and with plenty of rest at home, medication and lots of supportive care, and oodles of love sheās been making steady progress. š„°
Sheās been left with a slight head tilt to the right, but thankfully, weāre seeing a little more improvement every day.
And as you can see⦠it certainly hasnāt stopped Beetle from loving life! ā¤ļøš¶
