Good thoughts, please

About half an hour ago Fionn started walking around like he was drunk -- no balance, stumbling, etc. I took him to the vet, and by the time we got there, he was back to normal, but they're going to keep him overnight for observation. He didn't seem in any pain while it was happening, in fact, in a move that might have been funny under other circumstances, he kept trying to jump up and steal food off my plate on the coffee table, even though he didn't seem to know which direction his legs were going in. The vet's going to send off some blood work to see if anything shows up there and keep an eye on him tonight in case he has another episode. She said it's possible he may have had a mini-stroke.

So good thoughts and prayers are needed that there's no serious underlying condition at that this was a one-time isolated event. If he doesn't have a repeat episode tonight I can take him home in the morning, and the blood-work will be back in about a week.
