Neurological issues.

Well, it's almost impossible to tell that Mocha had a head tilt, she's a wee bit wobbly on her legs but runs around like a slightly, unguided missile. I'm so glad I didn't give up on her and it's also shown my volunteers that where there is life, there is hope. I think many thought she should have been pts at the start and they will, hopefully, at least give an animal a chance to adapt/ recover before making an irreversible decision. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome :)

This is wonderful news halfpenny :)

I am glad too that you didn't give up on her, and I am sure her good recovery is in large part due to your wonderful nursing care!

I am so pleased to hear how well Mocha is doing now :D
 
Sadly Mocha’s head tilt returned and she had it for a few years. Last year she had to get her tear ducts flushed and the vets wanted to pts because she took so long to right herself after the op. I spent the night holding her upright and by the next day she was back to normal. Sadly the flush didn’t last long and we had her on metacam and eye drops.
Over the last few weeks she had lost weight and spirit (she was full of spirit!). I had decide to have her pts last Friday, as Thursday was an awful day of snow and ice and I didn’t want to risk taking her in the car. Sadly she died that day!
I feel awful as I don’t know how she went but I also feel it may have been better than the stress of a vet visit. Normally I would have had the vet come out but due to covid it’s less of an option and especially due to the weather.
I’m gutted and hope she didn’t suffer.
Mocha was booked to be pts at the age of 2 due to aggression issues. We took her and she was happily bonded to Godfrey for a good few years, sadly he passed away and it became very apparent how much care he had taken of her, grooming her eyes.
 
I’m so sorry you lost Mocha :cry: you did everything you could for her, and she had the best life possible :love:
 
So sorry that you have lost Mocha, you gave her the good life that she wouldn't have had otherwise. Sweet dreams Mocha xx
