One of our mini Schnauzers is having surgery this morning. She was acting weird yesterday and then started having what looked like seizures. She was stiff and shaking and drooling like crazy and couldn't stand up. It was in the middle of a bunch of storms and tornadoes in the area (of course) so I wasn't sure whether the change in pressure had triggered something or what. She seemed okay for about 15 minutes after the first episode, but then it started over again.
I called the vet, and even though it was 4:55 and they close at 5:00, they told me to bring her right over. Luckily my dad was here and he took her for me. Sarah was a basket case (Heidi is her dog) and the tornado warning sirens were blaring, so my dad took the dog and Emma went with him. Their office is only five minutes from our house.
The vet checked her over and discovered a fatty tumor in her neck that is partially obstructing her esophagus. So she has food particles that get stuck in there when she eats and she is periodically choking on them. So she is at the vet right now. She will have surgery to remove the tumor this morning, and we can pick her up at 4:00 this afternoon.
