Hi Joe
Wonderful to hear that Nauset is feeling better (and destructive!). She sounds like she had a great time! I did laugh I’m afraid, and laughed a lot about Sprockett. My goodness. We had a Border Collie who did used to eat a lot of odd (sometimes unmentionable) things but fortunately there was no destruction on such a level! Sheena – hats off to you and Phil for persevering!! Molly was a master toilet roll shredder, but there were no Molly-induced holes in walls, fortunately. I am still laughing….
Great news that Nauset is feeling feisty :) Long may it continue

Hi Tara!
Well, what a great lad Diablo is – I can’t tell you how pleased I am to hear he’s getting a bit better now. It really does sound like a quicker recovery than last time (fingers crossed). You’ve made me feel very happy. Lots of love to you & that special little man.
Sheena, Worzel, Ollie & a special hello from Phil (my hubby) who asks about Diablo every day.
Hello Karen
I’m really sorry to hear about Mistique having IMHA – it’s a tough diagnosis to hear from your vet – but pleased you’ve found us. Everyone on here has experience with this disease & we would love to help you in any way we can. My greyhound Worzel was diagnosed 7th Dec 2012 at the age of 12 (probably older as he is a rescue boy!) & is doing well now (touch wood) despite being seriously ill. It is really important for our dogs to get good treatment & the people on this forum helped me immensely with their knowledge, kindness & support when I needed it. Giving us details on tests & treatment will help us to help you.
Hoping to hear from you soon, Sheena, Worzel & Ollie

Hi Tara
It sounds like he’s recovering more quickly than last time to me. If the nystagmus has nearly gone, that’s great! Don’t worry too much about the vision just yet – it’s only been a week & we know it can take much longer than that to get better. As Brigitte & Vally have said, dogs don’t think in the same way as us & they cope amazingly well with disabilities – they just get on with living their lives. Because he loves you so very much, he is happy being close to you. It’s hard to be patient, I know.
Sprockett developed cataracts (maybe we should call them dogaracts????) quite quickly after his vestibular episode & I know his vision wasn’t great, but he didn’t care – he was always a happy chap & nothing ever phased him. If they struggle with their vision, it’s good to always keep furniture & things in the same position, so they get their bearings & they manage really well.
I think about Diablo & you all the time – all my friends have been asking how he is too!
Loads of love, Sheena, Worzel & Ollie
Sorry Joe – I had to laugh at your Nauset story! She’s obviously feeling perky & sometimes we like it when they are a bit naughty after being ill. Our old border collie Sprockett was the most destructive dog I have ever come across. It only took him half an hour to completely destroy our bed (ripped the side off), rip up the duvet & dig a hole in the mattress. He then started on the carpet, ripping it into 2 inch strips. I became a master plasterer as he dug holes in the house wall, his head actually making an appearance in next door’s bedroom once, much to their surprise!! My husband was very close to taking him to the RSPCA, but of course we persevered. He raided a shopping bag once & ate a bar of soap, a box of 12 eggs & LEMON. Anyway, what I’m saying is Nauset could be a lot worse!
Loads of love to you, Joe – it’s lovely to hear Nauset is feeling better.
Sheena, Worzel & Ollie
