Just to let all know, Iowna fell ill Friday with Vestibular Disease.
It's also called 'old dog syndrome'. Head tilts, moves in fast tight
circles, falls down a lot. Nausea (caused by the tight circles
sometimes). Vertigo. Ear infection ruled out as one of the causes.
This is very fast to show, like 15-30 minutes before she was fine.

She spent Friday on an IV. Most dogs have the simple sort and recover.
Some are not so lucky as causation can also be brain tumor or a central
nervous system infection. Her's is apt to be the somple sort but she
is 3 weeks from turning 15 and that is very old in dogs years. She is
close to 25 for a cat for comparison. We have to wait and see.

Sounds like a miserable thing to have, poor girl.
Purrs coming...
