vestibular disease, the head tilt is often a residual effect. Those same symptoms Sally had last summer were weird, and I was relieved when I looked them up and they were an exact description of vestibular disease, a treatable illness.
This time she had different symptoms, and her left back leg didn't seem to do what her brain wanted it to do. Her back end was too weak to squat, so she had to relieve herself lying down... I tried to help her but holding her up only worked the last day or two when she had diarrhea and couldn't hold it in! Poor girl, I just don't think she would have gotten much out of life struggling along like that.
