Meet HC Myst
Everything I do is FAST..... Some judges love to watch me since I am a little crazy in all the sports I do. I LOVE herding, have finished my obedience titles and now have so much fun with scent work. I am now 12 years old and just finished my AKC Herding Champion title. Of course running on trails is my very favorite sport. |

READ This Before You Euthanize Your Dog - Canine Vestibular Disease
This page is being reprinted and added to with new resources since my blog page on vestibular is so popular. A friend asked me to include some of her new resources to help those whose senior dog experiences these scary balance and equilibrium symptoms that have a sudden onset. I am finding from correspondences from around the world that even vets might not be recognizing what the dog is presenting with. Many like myself believed that our dog was having a stroke; others that their dog needed to be euthanized. Our wish is that this information will help you support your dog during their vestibular syndrome so you both will have many more happy days together.
