loveofgreysWe picked BeBe up from the Petsmart veterinary hospital today. There is no one there in the evenings to monitor the dogs.
She did vomit a lot today at the vet and on the way back, but since she got back to the motorhome, she has been drinking water and eating the boiled chicken I fixed. She would eat all of it if I gave it to her.
The veterinarian says she is 90 percent sure it is Vestibular disease. Dog vertigo is what it is like I think. She got rid of the temperature today, and all the symptoms fit. All her blood work, fecal etc are normal.
I hope she is right. In a few days to a few weeks it should clear up. She is resting very well right now.
I only have to take her back tomorrow if I can not get her medication down or if it doesn't stay down. Also make sure she does not get dehydrated. Right now she scarfs up the chicken and is drinking water and keeping it down.
She has antibiotics and steroids predisone for 3 weeks. The vet said there really is no treatment for Vestibular disease, but she always gives the steroids.
She seems so much better here than at the vets. I hope she continues to improve.
I guess I will be at the laundry a few times this week. I already had to wash what she got sick on in the car.
Thank you for all your thoughts. I feel better. Not great, but better.
