I don't know if I'm over thinking things or not. Am I actually seeing what I'm seeing?
Dock and I were in the computer room yesterday. She likes to sit on a wooden tray table at the window and look outside when the windows are open (which isn't too often with the crazy hot summer) She moved between the window, to my lap, to laying on my computer desk. Rinse and repeat. She did this circuit for about an hour before finally leaving the room. I thought she may have been uncomfortable, and just could not settle, so I'm going to gave her some extra gabapentin after dinner. (My vet said it can be given more often if needed. She wrote the dose down for me somewhere. Should maybe call and confirm).
We all ate dinner and than settled in to watch some tv. I watch Dock like a hawk now a days, never knowing if she's going to have tremors, or stumble, etc. She started some tremors, and she did the staring off into space thing. As her tremors are so subtle, I'm never knowing if I'm seeing them or not. They appeared to go on and off for about 5 minutes. She did fine for the rest of the night though I did miss parts of my movie watching her. That's ok as she's my girl and I need to keep an eye on her.
Last thing I've noticed is that she's not holding her tail up any more, and when she lays, it's kind of kinked about a third from the tip. It does not hurt her, and if I pinch it, she will pull away eventually, so I know she does feel it. But she laid down last night, and it landed all curly q like a pig tail. Never seen her not have it curled around her, or straight out behind her. This just confirms the weakness that she has.
I guess I'll just keep watching, and waiting, and second guessing myself.
