My yorkie is only 2 years old. And over the weekend, we noticed that she was going in circles alot, bumping into things, and not directly looking at us. These are definite things that she doesn't ever do.

So Monday comes, and I made an appointment to see the doctor. The vet believes that there are only two things that she could have, Liver Shunt or Yorkie Encephalitis...but without bloodwork or going to see a neurologist, we wouldn't know. She has almost if not, completely lost all of her vision. But she doesn't seem to be in pain, just a bit confused...So I brought her home before doing anything, so I can discussed our options with my husband. I decided to monitor her even closer now, and maybe in a day or so, I'll decide if we need to do anything. The vet says that Liver Shunting is treatable, but if it's Yorkie Encephalitis, then there's not much we can do, except for keeping her comfortable, and making the surrounding safe for her.

My husband is soooo distraught over this. More than I, I believe.

Does anyone know of a good site to research Yorkie Encephalitis? Or if anyone has gone through something similar, share your experience....
