My sweet Hank is in the vet hospital this weekend. They believe

[sinkingfeeling]

he had an attack of vestibular symptom. I thought he was having a stroke yesterday afternoon. This is fairly common in old dogs. Hank is 15. I lost his 'brother', Sugar, on Nov. 25, 2017.

12. Oh, what a sweet boy!

Hope Hank gets to come home feeling better soon. It must be lonesome at home without him.

13. Good Boy!

Get well, Hank!

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Aw

He looks like a sweet boy. I wish the best to you both.

15. Don't forget to take care of yourself too.

You are already suffering a great loss. Chelsea Handler is going through the same thing. However, her baby was a 18 and a medium sized dog so don't lose hope! Spike (my almost 15 yr old "best friend" and baby) and I send belly rubs and warm, soft kisses.

*Oh, I forgot. Take him off the kitchen counter. When my mom was taking care of Spike after she had surgery a long time ago and I was at work she had Spike on the kitchen table and thought Spike was knocked out but she wasn't completely and got up and fell to the floor. She was OK since when they are relaxed they usually don't get hurt as much...like drunk drivers.

16. Looks like Hank has a wonderful human..

that would be you, of course. Good on ya for giving him the best life. I'm trying my best to do the same with little Joey the Jack Russell terrier. He's fourteen now, and so far doing good. Got him at the shelter when he was ten; best thing I ever did, except marry my wife.

17. Vet called this morning. There's been no improvement. We're scheduling a CT

scan for Monday. They will put in a feeding tube while he's out as well. He hasn't eaten since Thursday evening. I'm beginning to lose hope Hank will make it.

[irisblue]

18. Still sending positive thoughts for him and all of you & yours.

[TEB]

19. Hope he is well

[FuzzyRabbit]

20. I hope Hank can come home to you soon.

21. One of my dogs had it one time. She had to

stay at the vets for a few days but was able to return home. I have hardwood floors and had to put down some rugs to make it easier for her to walk inside the house. There is no quick healing process but my baby made decent progress. She did have a little tilt to her head for the rest of her life but she regained a quality life.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Hank had a CT scan today and they found nothing except massive ear infection.

He's still at hospital and is showing slight improvement. I'm to take him baby food in the morning. Poor guy hasn't eaten since Thursday night. He still can't walk on his own.
I have a tad more hope that my 15 year old can pull through this.

[irisblue]

23. 👏👏👏👏👏 happy dance

Not for the ear infection, but that it is treatable.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Thanks. I have my fingers crossed.

[Zoonart]

28. So glad to hear the good news.

Hug him tight.

[Duppers]

27. What a relief!

That sweet baby's ear infection should clear soon with proper meds.

[get the red out]

29. Glad he is doing better

Pets are our angels, I hope your angel Hank makes a full recovery. He is a handsome dog!

[irisblue]

25. How is he doing? How are you?

[sinkingfeeling]

30. He came home Wednesday afternoon and had the IV removed yesterday. He's

able to stand, drink water, and wobbly walk a 100 feet or so. Big problem is we can't get him to eat. I'm popping bites down his throat every couple of hours, but he's yet to take the first bite on his own.
I've tried everything: baby food meats, his favorite canned, cat food, fancy dog foods, ground beef, roasted chicken, hard boiled eggs, toast, tuna, gravey, beef broth, and Science Diet canned I/D. Nothing.
If he won't eat, I will have to make a bad choice. Vet's have given him Mirtazapine and steroid shot trying to stimulate his appetite.

[Judi Lynn]

31. Hoping for you and that good, good friend. Best wishes. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

32. Hank began eating some, 8 days after his last meal. So far, He's eaten 4 jars of

meat baby food and a bit of tuna.

He's walking, but diagonally.

[CountAllVotes]

33. Hank may well pull out of it and fully recover!

Here's hoping that your beloved Hank recovers fully! for both of you!

When Alex the most handsome had a bout of poor health, chicken & meat baby food were a blessing.
