Hi all,
I went to this website, as I had heard about the disease, and also had 
experience with it with one of my cockers years ago. Unfortunately, at the 
time, the vet specialists that I went to all informed me that my bitch was 
having strokes everytime this would happen. She had 3 episodes of this, and 
it would slowing inprove, but never get quite back to normal. Then it would 
happen again. They checked her ears, and did a lot of other testing, and I 
was informed that she was having strokes, and the kindest thing would be to 
put her down. Which I ended up doing, because she was a mess. This was back 
in 1987, and veterinarians have come a long way. I was so VERY angry when I 
found out what she probably had all along, and they had me put her to sleep! 
Lyndsey was the first dog I ever finished by myself, and my foundation bitch, 
who produced some wonderful champions for me. Not to mention she was a real 
sweetheart. 
Just thought I would share this with the list. I feel like medicine is still 
coming out of the dark ages and into the light!
Good luck Kaycee!
