For those of you who haven’t seen my abundance of Facebook posts... Last week my mom and I took Shae to the Lancaster ER due to her showing symptoms of a stroke. We stayed there till 3am while they ran multiple tests and cleaned out her system in case she digested something. They decided to keep her overnight. Next day I spent all day on the phone waiting to hear results or what the next step would be. It was an emotional roller coaster. We decided to transfer her to ER in Norristown (they were really nice and communicated a lot better) outside of Philly. Here she would see a Neurologist and a Optometrist. She had neurological deficits that made them think a brain bleed, cancer, tumors or something with her ears. We had the MRI done and it came back clean and so did the spinal tap that she got under an anesthesia. While we know what it’s not and that is slightly comforting they’ve decided it’s just idiopathic and they have no idea what caused it but hope that her dizziness and facial paralysis will clear up. She’s on medication to help with her eye and dizziness and treat a possible infection just in case. Hopefully she’ll be able to walk completely by herself again, climb on furniture and blink her own eye in the next couple months. While she likes the attention she is very much over being babied and would like to go on a hike now. @ell_sl started a go fund me for the vet bills and we’re beyond grateful for everyone that has helped us during this time. Thank you. #ourpupshae (at Metropolitan Veterinary Associates) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5B1ApATKuh7VPLNKIty6HGdjYxxDilNiVSe40/?igshid=1xelmg3e0tl2a
