We went to UC Davis veterinary hospital, which has some of the best neurologists in the country. Brooke had a spinal tap and an MRI and was diagnosed with an inflammatory brain disease, GME. If Sophie does not get better after she gets off the meds she is on, I would consider seeing a veterinary neurologist. GME can be maintained with meds but a diagnosis needs to be made promptly and most regular vets never see a case, so sometimes they waste time with many other treatments. Good luck and I hope they figured out what she has and she will be better in no time! But if she isn't better, please consider what I have said.

Someone else mentioned GME. When I talked to the vet yesterday I said I wanted X-rays and MRI to fully look into her. We are taking it one step at a time, which alot of people on here probably won't agree with.
I truly appreciate your input on GME. It is definately something I will bring up as a possiblilty IF/when we have to take Sophie back.
Last night she was almost a completely different dog. She was running & jumping around my bed just playing... it was cool to see her like that. I am definately anxious to see what today brings.
Thanks again VERY much
