For those of you who don't know Rufus' story, here is the link- http://www.rykat.org/forums/index.php?show...c=13146&hl=
Our lovely boy is in need of everyone's good thoughts please.
He had a very small anaesthetic on Tuesday so that he could have a quick examination of his ear, which had been causing him some problems. Yesterday morning he had a 'funny turn' which the vet thought was either a small seizure or a mini stroke. We kept him at home quietly yesterday and all he did was to sleep lots. Food didn't interest him that much, which really worried us as he is normally a 'Dyson' labrador - eats everything.
Took him back to the vets at lunchtime today and as he had a slight temperature it was decided to give him an injection of antibiotics and then a 10 day course of antibiotic tablets. Shortly after he had the injection he became very hyper, dashing round and round the surgery, and was generally acting very, very strangely. Nothing the vet, the nurse or I could do seemed to calm him.
It has been decided to keep him in the hospital for observation this afternoon and to see how he progresses. We will get a phone all later on to update us. The vet is reluctant to sedate him as this might mask other symptoms.
I feel like a nervous wreck now - that dog was not my usual bouncy, loveable boy - it was like a stranger. I am really scared in case there is something really bad happening to him. We love him so much and I just cannot contemplate anything being really wrong with him .
Please send him positive thoughts for a speedy recovery and a positive outcome.
