A Stroke?!?!?

[tatsxxx11]

We love you dear Digger!! Have your Mommy give you a big hug and kiss from us! Sleep well, precious one!

Thank you for all of your prayers you guys, but I have a little bit of bad news... not the news that popped into your head as you read this, but we think that Digger had another small stroke. I just don't know what to do. My mom doesn't want me to bring him to the vet, because she thinks that the only reason I want to bring him to the vet is because I want him to live longer... I just don't know the truth. It is deep down inside, but I just don't know. Can you tell me what I should do? I don't know if you can... It is so confusing... What is going to happen to my beloved pet???
I just don't know what is going to happen...

Let me rephrase the part where my mom doesn't want me to bring him to the vet.

My mom doesn't want me to bring Digger to the vet, because she thinks that the only reason I want to bring him to the vet is because she thinks that I think that I only want Digger to live longer.
That is not the truth... is it?

No, I think you just want to care for your Digger in the best way possible! I think taking him to the vets to have him evaluated is absolutely the right thing to do. With your vet you can discuss how best to treat him. And most vets, good vets, will certainly let you know when he believes that life may be becoming a struggle for sweet Digger. It is also a good time for you to discuss your concerns, fears, etc. I hope your Mom will allow you to take him. It sounds like he has been a very loving and devoted friend to your family these many years and deserves to be given every chance possible to enjoy time with his family. I'm hoping for the best. I'm a Lab Mom too and I know how much you love your sweet boy. Give him a big hug from all of us. I will be keeping him and you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{hugs}}} Sandra, Star and Cody

You are the only one who seems to understand... I mean I bet all of us on Pet Talk understand, because we all have pets that we love.
Thank you everyone,
