My vet is nice but now that my dog is really sick i wish I had someone who knew more about this and put me on the right track sooner. This has been kind of ongoing for a week now and I still dont have a definitive diagnosis. My concern is that he passes before we can get him the help he needs. |
"Neurological dysfunction caused by liver insufficiency is referred to as hepato-encepholopathy (HE). This can cause any degree of neurological problems including lethargy, dullness, decreased learning ability, weakness, stumbling, blindness, circling, seizure, coma and death."

Maybe you should call Cornell Vet Hospital and discuss the situation and see what they say.
