So here is the final diagnosis from the radiologist:

Definitely abnormal contrast enhancing lesion in the right cerebrum. This intra-axial disease may be a necrotizing encephalitis. Lack of mass effect tends to discredit the possibility of neoplasia.

I was referred back to my regular vet to start the pred treatment. Brownee is on the 1 MG 2 xs a day for four days. Then we start tapering down the dosage. The neurologist did say that we can explore chemo as well. I have been doing a lot of research about this and found some information about Dr. Sisson. It seems like the neurologist and radiologist are so negative about his recovery. I mean I don't want them to give me false hope but I need to stay positive on Brownee's behalf. He is a fighter and I am going to do everything I can for him! Anyone with experience with this please contact me, it would be much appreciated!
