Our Stormy Girl

When we returned home from Kansas City, I noticed Stormy was having trouble drinking. We ended up making a late trip that night to Dr. Mike's, where Chris helped us with her. I ended up taking her back to Dr. Mike's the next day because I didn't see any improvement. Well, as it turns out this really stumped Dr. Mike. We are under the impression that she has had a stroke. Her tongue is partially paralyzed. On Friday night, I sat and cried while she struggled to eat her canned dog food. She was determined though, and that made me want to try even harder. Well, a week later and with a new food bowl, she's doing remarkably well! I still have to give her gruel/water through a syringe, but she's able to eat on her own- and she's even licking both sides of her mouth! It's a vast improvement- God is so good!

I have no idea why this video is sideways! This was her struggling to eat.


Now she's eating so much better with her new food bowl!


This is Stormy eating her water out of a syringe. I'm so proud of her. Sorry for Snoopy's barking in the background- what can you do when you have 5 dogs!
