Hi my name is Tonia. I need some help or any information you can give me. My mom's Yorkie started having problems. Walking into furniture, going in circles, head tilt, not being able to walk good, and falling over. She took her to the vet this morning and was told she has encephalitis. She was given prednisone for the Pebbles.

She is a very small dog. A year old and weighs 3lb. She is eating and drink some, but can barely walk. She just wants to be held.

My question is will she die from this? My mom is so heartbroken, I just wish there was something I could do to help her. It just seems like Pebbles is getting worse. The vet wants to see her again in five days, but we are afraid she won't make it that long.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it curable?

Thanks,
Tonia
