It's A Minute To Midnight

My Precious Boy

I'm uploading this as a substitute because today I only took phone shots to keep for me. He's very ill with Central Vestibular disease. There's not a whole lot known about it and he's been having fits since 2016 albeit very short ones. This weekend however he's been hit very hard and we are not sure he'll pull out of it.  We called out the vet this afternoon who from my phone call said he thought he would have to put him to sleep but he's given him two lots of injections. One to stop the motion sickness he's feeling and one to encourage him to eat and drink. Its god awful to see him like this with nystagmus eyes (constant flickering and rolling rapidly of the eyes) and he's got a bad head tilt and one eye is half shut. At the moment he can't stand or walk unaided. 
We have to wait about two or three days to see if he improves, if he does then we will have an MRI scan done to see what's causing it....but if he doesn't improve then ....its the unthinkable.
 After having the injections he has had several lots of water an a couple of dog treats as he refuses to eat proper dog food. 
I just have to put something down here to help me deal with it.
