Yesterday was a sad day. It started when I noticed that our dog Zoe had thrown up out in the dog yard. I then noticed that she was having a hard time walking, she was stumbling, walking sideways, and had a head tilt. Needless to say she was not acting herself. I text Steve (who was at work) and told him something was wrong with Zoe. When he got home from work - he went out to see her - and was shocked to see his baby! Seeing her made me immediately brake out in tears - and you could tell Steve was VERY choked up! I called the vet - and we immediately loaded Zoe into the car and off to the Vet ER. That car ride was sooo hard - we really thought that we were saying goodbye to Zoe. After blood work - and an exam - the doctor said that she suspects something neurologically is going on with Zoe (stroke). Luckily Zoe is not in any pain - and possibly the symptoms could resolve - or get worse... Just have to wait and see. We brought her home - and this moring even though she is still walking a little funny on the left side, and still has a slight head tilt, she is actually improving. We are so excited to have our Zoe still with us - eventhough she is 9 years old - were not ready to say goodbye to her. For any of you who know Zoe, you know what a sweet, loving, loyal dog she really is.

I am so relieved to hear that Zoe is okay. All we can do is give her love and she will do her best to keep fighting. It's funny how I was sooooo scared of her when I first met her and now my favorite dogs are Rotweilers
: )
Glad to hear Zoe is getting better. It is really hard to lose a pet...they definitely become a family member. I hope she continues to improve.
