I got a frantic call from my dad about his dog Shera. I guess she just keeps falling over while trying to walk. She has been going deaf and blind for a while now. She’s apparently walking with her legs spread out wide to try and keep her balance. I asked his to check her ears. He says they look clean, normal colored and don’t smell.
He wants to take her to the vet but can’t afford it. That’s why he called. His vet was booked solid for the day and can’t see Shera until the morning. He doesn’t want to take her anywhere else, so I booked the appointment. I’ll know more tomorrow.
It breaks my heart to hear my Dad like this. Shera is his world, now that my Grandmather has passed away and I moved to Portland. Shera is all he has. She’s been a great dog. I’m not sure there is anything the vet can do for her. The only thing I/we can do is plan for the worst and hope for the best.
