He doesn't stand still not even for 5 seconds, he keeps on pacing on the same spot and tries to walk forward but falls over. I hope this Specialist Clinic will eventually be able to tell me what is wrong with Fudge, because I've kinda given up. I can't stand to see my child like this.
is this behavior happening prior to eating or within 2 hrs of eating

I doubt it is a brain tumor that is super rare in this breed - more common things causing this behavior

liver shunt
gme/nme
chiari
hydrocephalus
AAI

many diagnose with a brain tumor for gme/nme and chiari symptoms but with those bats liver related

does your vet have your dog on lactulose and denamarin right now as you need to get the toxins down in the body IMMEDIATELY if your dog is acting this way until the scintigraphy is done. Also you need to be feeding a very low protein diet right now - what are you feeding? Do they have Royal canine hepatic there? If not get natural balance vegetarian and transition NOW.

I am going to post the dr dodds liver cleansing diet if you cannot get the above foods asap you can cook this diet
