Hi, thanks for all the lovely emails.  We went to our favourite part of wales in cardiganshire.  I like the shot on the mountain too.  We did cheat to get bess up here, had a lift to the top and a lift back down but it was great to see her in her favourite spot, and its good to have some extra valuable time with her after the stroke.

Hi Xtine
Bess is much improved.  She is such a brave girl.  She’s walking quite well now with just the corners wobbly, however she still cant do steps which req her taking her front paws off the floor (and I dont blame her!) so we are still camping downstairs at night.  Her appetite is back to nornal and she had a little play and bark at teatime yesterday. We are taking only very short walks but she loves to get out and see her pals oska and fred and this has made a difference to her.  Got her a harness to steady her and this has been a godsend. Will be putting a page on my web about our days with Vestibular to try and help and comfort others who go through it.  Give Fritz a hug from me.

Thanks everyone.
There has been some improvement in the last few days.  She can keep her food down now and her eyes are back to normal.  Now we are dealing with the ‘vertigo’ dizziness and headtilt.  We are camping downstairs and all the sharp edges in the room are covered with blankets (we do look scruffy but dont care)  She is trying to deal with the room tilting when she walks but thanks to a harness I can keep her out of most dangers.  Hope she is back toddling about soon as she is 14half and really needs to keep those legs strong. It seems to be a common ailment esp for older dogs but I’d never heard of it, and its been horrendous.  Thanks for all your kind wishes they have been much appreciated.
