 Vets can't figure out what's wrong with my dog!
I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of this illness:
My dog, Ollie, gets sick for 3 days every month (like clockwork). He develops a high fever, wont eat or drink, and shivers. After 3 days, he is totally back to normal. This has been occurring for the past 4 months (he is 7 months old). My vet has consulted with 4 different vets and one specialist, and no one can figure out what's wrong. They have tested and ruled out: liver shunting and endocrine system problems. All of his blood work is normal and his ultra sound was normal. There is no infection of any kind. The specialist now wants to do a spinal tap, even though he does not have symptoms of encephalitis. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
