She was also treated very well at the hospital by the nurses/doctor. She's 70 and managing ok for now.
    Prayers for you and your Mom and Dad. Your poor Mom. I really feel for her. I hope they can help your father with medication. Aging can be so sad. It affects everyone differently.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Scary, thank God he didn't have a high powered gun. I hope he will be well soon. My first thought was a tumor of the brain. I am sending you my prayers. Know that there are many who care about you and who will support you in this most difficult time.

    Your family is in my thoughts. It must be so scary to see the person you've loved for so long suddenly not be the same anymore.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I hope your mom has friends there to lean on. Those voices must have been horrifying for your dad, and shattering for your mom and you, dealing with the results.

    If your dad has reached age 72 without meds, hopefully something can help him, medication or otherwise.

    HUGS!

    I have had people very, very near to me seemingly suddenly become mentally ill. Please know that people DO get better with time, medication, and support from family and friends. I will pray for you, your father and your mother during this very trying time. Lots of love and hugs coming your way.

    ETA: If you ever want to chat with someone who has been there I am always available.

    It is a sad story, but before looking at the title i thought it might be humorous.
