A trip to the ER vet that turned out okay (and kind of silly)
DISCLAIMER: HE'S FINE! He only LOOKS possessed.
Had a pretty big scare with Deebus Christ last night. He was lying on his bed with the cone of shame (yesterday was the last day of cone wearing before some stitches come out) rolled over to the other side, banged his stick legs around on the walls of the open X-pen surrounding his bed, and then... Something??? Happened???
He went cross-eyed and into a sort of sideways shrimp position like the left side of his body was on a fishhook being pulled upward and toward his butt. We lifted him on this bed, drove across our yard, parked the car right at the front steps, and then put the bed in the car to take him to the ER vet. Turns out he had a mild ear infection which can cause vestibular derpitude (my very serious name for this condition).
Vestibular disease is so weird! It usually improves within two to three days but this morning he was able to go potty by himself and walk around; last night he couldn't stand up at all because he was leaning at a 30 degree angle to the left and had to be carried with towels under him.
Here is a video of our cross-eyed boy this afternoon. What a prince.
He literally did not leave his bed until like 10:00 this morning when we got him to get up and go outside. Inshallah he is restored to full normal derpitude with no vertigo in time for the fourth's festivities.
