Update on Barkley

Jon took Barkley to the vet today as he couldn't stand up at all last night and hadn't eaten all day. After spending several hours at the vet Jon was told that there is a bacteria in Barkley's ears that may have caused him to experience vertigo which would make him off balanced. Barkley's bloodwork came back perfect and this is the only thing they found. Barkley has to have ear drops put in both ears twice a day and has to have his ears cleaned out with a special solution twice a week. The vet also suggested Dramamine to eliminate any dissyness he may be experiencing. The hard part is that he can't be active in any way. Jon has to pick him up and take him outside to go to the bathroom. Hannah can tell something isn't right either. She keeps saying "Barka, Barka". If Barkley doesn't get better in a day or two the vet suggested seeing a neurologist; she would have this specialist come to the vet especially to see him. We'll keep you posted on how he is doing. Keep us all in your prayers as we have had an exhausting day.
