18 year old Border Collie

How amazing to see Blackjack today. He was carried into my consulting room as he had had a minor stroke at home which resulted in him circling and then collapsing. Apart from a glazed distant look in his eyes, he was still amazingly well for his age.

We stood him on the floor and after a little wobble, his tail came up and he wagged to the door to go out. He had recovered nicely from the stroke so i sent him home with some Vivitonin tablets to prevent another one. How lucky they were to have their happy pet for so many years!
