We just can't seem to catch a break lately.

Ray and I have been really sick since Monday, some sort of virus that starts in the throat, which is so painful it even hurts to sneeze, then the chest, head, ears and nose all get involved and it just doesn't let up. I was on anti-biotics for my poisoned leg and THEY didn't even stop it.
NOW, today, we wake up to find Lady so weak in her back legs she keeps falling over.
I had noticed her reluctance to walk last night and checked her for ticks but couldn't find any.
This is so TOTALLY not Lady, she usually tears through the house and up and down the stairs like a 2 year old (dog), wherever I am she is right behind me, if not in front of me.
My first thought (last night) was a paralysis tick, even though I didn't find any on her, but she has worsened since then, so it's a mad dash to the Vet before he closes at midday.

After an hour of searching her, head to tail and everywhere in between, three of us could find no sign of a tick, but they're devilish little things, they can get into places we can't explore.
So the Vet had no option but to give her the tick treatment serum & a tick spot-on treatment and some anti-inflammatory meds in case it wasn't a tick.
Now the watching and waiting begins in earnest!
For the next 24 hours I can't let her out of my sight, can't let the cats anywhere near her because the spot-on is Toxic to cats and all three of them love to rub against her. We have to keep her as calm as possible.
At any other time that last instruction would be impossible, but she is definitely fighting something as she hasn't left her bed, beside me. I had to carry her up the stairs because she just stood and looked at them as if I had put Mt Everest in front of her. This is definitely not normal for my little Lady.

Please could you just say a little prayer for her, that whatever it is, she will overcome it?
Thank you all. hugs and blessings, Meganne
