A rough night with Sugar!

So we thought sugar was doing really well, she's been eating on her own really well and drinking lots of water. All her bodily functions seemed to be working better. She even barked for the first time in a week last night, granted it wasn't her normal bark but it was something!
Well around 1:30am Greg shot out of bed, he heard sugar making an odd noise. I awoke immediately. we picked her up from where she was laying and she seemed to be having a seizure or stroke. Her head was tilted to one side and that whole side of her body was stiff she was kind of curling up. Her poor little eyes looked so scared. We held her and just kind of massaged her little body until it stopped. This happened 3 times over the course of 45 minutes or so then her breathing got very shallow and her heart slowed down and got very weak. Then all of the sudden she started panting so we gave her a little water through a dropper and that seemed to help. So we took her out of bed to go drink more and she could bearly keep herself up to drink! She calmed back down and went to sleep. Then this morning and all day to day she's been a bit better. She's still not our normal Sugar and I fear she never will be! I just pray that she has some time left! We'll see what happens at the vet on Monday! We weren't able to get in touch with the vet today!

Thank you everyone for you thoughts and prayers! I know you all know how much Suggie means to us and we really appreciate all the love and support! Thank you!
