You need a new vet.....Bandit got a "clean bill of health" from our first vet. Two weeks later he was dead. He had a neurological disorder and we had an appt. scheduled with a neurologist/vet but the day before the appt. he had several seizrures and he died during one of them. He used to walk funny, the best way to describe it is "diagnoally" across the room. His left eye "roamed" and he would walk into things, or just stand there and stare off into space. We found out after he died that he had a liver shunt also. Had we caught it early enough he would probably still be here with the right medications. Bandit was from a puppy mill/pet store but we didn't know anything about those places until I joined YT right after we got him.

I don't mean to sound harsh or want to scare you, but if something is wrong the sooner you know the better it will be for Chip. I hope and pray that it isn't serious.
