Folks Shiloh is back and better than she was Sunday night/Monday morning when I took her to the emergency veterinary hospital. The diagnosis, with which her primary care veterinarian concurs, is vestibular ideopathy, an inner ear malady that hits older dogs, making them stumble about, disoriented and like they’re drunk, or young puppies just beginning to walk. It’s very frightening. They both told me usually it comes on very suddenly, and sharply, then within 72 hours begins to sharply dissipate with 7-14 days before they return to normal. She is better today, even attempting to jump up on her favorite spot on the living room couch. But it will be a few days and I am continuing to be with her, as she is barely eating, though did take a long pull on her water earlier today, to my relief. I do thank you all for your prayers. Please do not let that stop you from emailing articles of interest! I noticed a sudden and sharp drop in them after I posted the announcement about her. While I may or may not be able to blog this coming weekend, the grist for the mill will be archived!
Merry to hear! Sailing through the waves. All very best! +!
Good news… may she continue to heal and improve … love to you both.
… Woof! Woof! (Yay! Yay!) from the Australian Shepherd contingent here. 
GREAT NEWS!
May she continue to get back to her good old days - quickly and safely.
Thanks for the update. Shiloh will surely have the best of care. I guess HIPAA doesn’t cover dogs? 
… I’m pretty sure Shiloh gave Dr. Farrell consent to release health information.

So good to hear. Keep getting better, Shiloh!
Excellent news! Thank you for letting us know what happened.
Wonderful to hear.
I expect she’ll be checking her pee-mail very soon.
That is indeed good news. God speed to recovery.
I’m so glad she’s doing better!
Good stuff indeed … Thanks for the update Jos …
My older dog (a rescue) unexpectedly developed the same malady. He was with my son when he had the episode. My son totally freaked out. We ran to the emergency vet, and they told us that older dogs are prone to this (he was 12 at that time), and that he would be fine. Well, 4 years later, he is still with us. Not quite as spritely and definitely deaf, with all the attitude of an old guy. However, every day we are grateful for him. Right now he is sleeping on the couch, no longer chasing whatever it is that doggies go hinting in their dreams, but sleeping hard.
We are so glad to hear she is on the way to recovery.
Im glad its not super serious! Im no stranger to inner ear crap
I have menieres disease, cause unknown.
So now at age 43 i have one hearing aid and get occasional dizzy spells. Thankful its only one ear.
