Yesterday, Spike started acting strangely. He would walk in circles, and his eyes would move side-to-side rapidly. And he would fall. And he puked a couple of times.

We thought he just had a spell, and it went away for the night, so we left in the morning to help out on the campaign. He had another spell this morning, but it went away again. Then it happened again about midday, so we left the campaign and took him for an emergency vet appointment.

The possibilities stand thusly: tumor on the brain stem, stroke, severe inner ear infection, meningitis. None are necessarily a death sentence, but we're hoping for the ear infection as it's the least disastrous.

I'm fucking terrified. We had to leave him at the vet's office overnight on an IV and steroids.

My poor baby boy

Feeling: sick
