I am not asking for advice on what to do. I am asking if anyone has had a similar case. Its a very unusual case, and I know from this post it sounds very drastic, but my dog is OK. He is 100% health. |
Sorry , but this is NOT an unusual case. First of all you said he hit his chest NOT his head. Hitting his chest would NOT make his pupils two different sizes that can ONLY happen if he has something going on in his BRAIN unless he was born with a congenital defect with one eye or has an eye condition like glaucoma. Yorkies are prone to a condition called Chiari Malformation. It can be hereditary or congenital and can vary from mild to very severe . An MRI and Spinal Tap are the ONLY way to diagnose Chiari. If he has Chiari and this was his 1st symptom you will see other and more frequent symptoms. If taking him to a vet if his symptoms become more frequent and severe is not an option, then I recommend finding a reputable yorkie rescue to turn him over to. If you had a sick child would you say taking it to a Doctor is not an option ? NO you find a way.
