Feb. 13th health update


As of three or four days ago now, Schatzi has been manifesting symptoms of her affliction, whatever it is.  The most obvious is the weird craning of the neck that has been recorded on this blog already.  That neck movement never really goes away completely; it is more evident sometimes, and less pronounced most of the time.

Over the past seven months or so, the craning of the neck has been less severe.  But a few days ago, it increased in frequency. Also, these other symptoms have gotten much worse:



  • Schatzi runs suddenly from one room to another, then slams to the floor in a curled-up ball
  • She dashes from one den to another, running from under a low chair to diving under the bed to under the computer desk, and so on
  • She spins around rapidly before suddenly settling down and then becomes unresponsive
  • She is more withdrawn and isolates in a distant room (usually Schatzi follows people around)



  • Today, Wednesday, Schatzi continues to spend most of the day sitting or lying in the guest bathroom (which she usually avoids) looking at the ground or craning her neck.  The vet has increased the Zonies to 150 mg per day.
