Regarding #Rufus - The short version:
The last 24 hours have been extremely stressful. Rufus was at the emergency vet all day yesterday having tests done. He has been diagnosed with a vestibular disorder. What this means if there is something going on in his inner ear. He is basically experiencing vertigo so his whole world has been spinning for the last 24 hours. This has the effect of making it VERY difficult for him to walk or even stand. He is on Anti-nausea medication and the Emergency vet advised waiting 2-3 days to see if it resolves on it's own, and if not to set up a follow up with his regular vet to start him on a course of anti-biotics.
Right now Rufus is miserable. I was able to hand feed him last night, but he cannot eat on his own. I tried to get him to sleep and he would dose off be as soon as he opens his eyes and the room is spinning again - he panics. I called his vet this morning and am waiting on a call back to see if maybe we should start the anti-biotics sooner rather than let him suffer for 2-3 days.
I absolutely HATE that there is nothing I can do for him right now, it's killing me.
Video: You can see is eyes moving because for him the room is spinning.
#Rufus and I are at the emergency vet. I don't ask for prayers, but positive thoughts appreciated.
"I'M THE MOST INTERESTING DOG IN THE WORLD" - #Rufus
Today makes 2 months since I lost my #Buster. It's still hard. I miss him so much. I come across things here and there and suddenly feel tears rolling down my cheeks. I wish I could have saved him.
Occasionally #Rufus likes to plan my demise...
#Dogs

Ice Cream Confessions - Today I realized that when I am out with my Dog #Rufus and there are people around (he loves people), if they don't talk to him I get a little annoyed.
I get that not everyone is a dog person, but it still seems to bother me.
