I am sorry for what you and your baby are going thru. Please let me know how things are going? Just wanted you to know you are not alone with a few symptoms you described.
My baby has been shaking(off and on), walking/running low to the floor with tail down, and head pressing. he too eats off and on, but is constantly sniffing rear like he needs his anal glands emptied. But, we just had them emptyied 2 wks ago, thinking that is what was bothering him. He has never had difficulty walking or vomiting, though. He has seemed to feel better when he poops, but then few minutes later the symptoms begin again. They have suspected a liver shunt, but we are not having exploratory surgery to confirm this diagnosis. Usually he is sympton-free. You may want to research "Liver shunts" some are operable. Just thought I would give you alittle feedback regarding SOME of the same symptoms. Usually liver enzymes would be elevated on bloodwork b/c liver enzymes kind of become toxic in blood due to not being filtered from liver properly. I pray your baby is feeling better, but more over, I pray you find a Diagnosis!!!! Please keep us informed. God Bless you and your baby!
