*On Friday my girl Blaze was her usual happy self. At 1:30 she was still herself. I came home at 4:00 to find her paralyzed on her left side, front and rear. I used a towel under her belly and got her outside in her favorite spot thinking this was a temporary thing. Called my vet and had him scheduled to come out Saturday morning, he said to keep her comfortable and give her some pred in case of any swelling. I was with her all evening Friday and basically kept her calm when she tried to get up which she couldn't. She wasn't crying in pain she just seemed confused. Around 11:00pm I gave her some ace to help her sleep and keep calm through the night, she had taken ace on quite a few occasions (4th of July and real bad storms). She had passed by 8:00am Saturday morning.* ** *This girl was by my side no matter what I was doing or where I was on this 15 acres. Never had to house train her, she just knew. She knew what I was going to do just by the way I walked, knew bedtime when I unplugged my Kindle or shut the back door. * ** *OMG I miss this girl and all her hair floating around the house. Miss her at the bottom of the steps waiting for me to come downstairs to make coffee for me and breakfast for her. She is buried right by the horse fence where she liked to hang out. She was only 10.....* ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
