Sorry to hear about your dog. Sure it's not a skull fracture? If that's been ruled out, it could be a concussion. Our friends gave their dog Diazepam after her seizure/stroke and comforted her with quiet setting and lots of lovin'. Their dog has improved greatly but has taken months and months.

The one word of advice I can give is this: Some dogs react poorly to certain dog foods or human foods. I would change the dog food to another brand or if you give table foods, experiment with different combinations for a few days and see if you notice a difference. Can be a long process, but we eliminated chicken strips that you buy in flats and we noticed a HUGE improvement in our dog. Take note of certain preservatives.

Does the puppy walk with a stomping sort of gait; Heavy footed? Could be neurological.. Don't let a specialist raid your wallet and then tell you he or she "doesn't know". Try a change of food/diet.. Buy a microwavable bag of veggie (cauliflower/broccoli/carrot mix), set it to 4 minutes then cool for mixing a portion in with the pups regular dog food.

Having a dog can be heart-breaking, but you do your best and hopefully FReeper prayers will help!

Sorry for rambling but I want to help because I love dogs!

We all understand and are praying for you. I am not a big fan of Rimadyl..about a month ago our Shih Tzu Maxie hurt his back(Shih Tzu’s are prone to back issues) and he was screaming so my sis took him to the ER and the Vet gave him Rimadyl..two days later he got an ulcer from it and had bleeding so they had to flush the stuff from his system. Normally the stuff works fine but some dogs can have really bad reactions from it. When I read that Halla took that drug I remembered it right away

I’ll pray for you and the puppy. I know what it’s like to feel completely broken.

Why does the vet want to refer you to a dog neurologist? IF it’s a concussion, there’s not much that can be done either for humans or dogs; it just has to heal on its own over a period of months. If there’s a brain bleed, there’s not much that can be done for dogs, since brain surgery is probably not going to happen. So I wonder what a dog neurologist could offer. Did the vet say?

Try to give it to God, dear Salamander. I know, talk is cheap and it’s easy to say that, but I’ve been there. Sometimes all you can do is ask God for the strength to face life, just for this day.

One of my cats whacked his head on a big piece of furniture and had a similar event including seizures and other scary stuff. HE was out of it for a few days, may have had a couple of smaller episodes but is fine and back to his old ways.

I hope your buddy recovers completely, I personally trace it to the head smack and getting a concussion and the brain fog that results.

I will most definitely pray for you and your pup, my animals are part of my family and I understand your pain and anxiety.

Praying for y’all. Usually an older dogs disease, and the drooling doesn’t necessarily fit unless she’s so dizzy she’s nauseated, but what about a vestibular disease?

You are talking about a dog, correct, not a child?

For many of us, our dogs are just kids with permanent fur coats.

We have been there, Sal. Hugs and prayers for all of you and for Halla.
