My little mini dachshund Scooter just turned 17 last month and has his good and bad days. Last evening, we had him outside to potty and he flopped on one side. Hubby panicked and got him back on his feet. Scooter had been dealing with diarrhea the last few days but his appetite was still great. He tried to throw up but nothing came up.

We rushed him to the vets last evening. The vet initially thought he may have had a stroke and kept him overnight. We just got a call this morning that his condition has not improved and they're going to run some more tests on him.

On top of this, I just had major surgery Monday and am not supposed to be riding in a vehicle but you bet your rear I did last night and I'm paying for it today. Whatever happens, we'll have to make another trip to the vets today. I'll just pop pain meds and deal with it as long as there's a chance we can bring our baby back home.
