My fingers are crossed he at least starts to feel better soon. Dr. Center's said that she didn't recommend a holistic diet and as I still have the L/D food I think I am going to keep him on it. Currently he is not eating much of anything and is spending a good majority of his time sleeping. I have to trick him into eating with bits of "treats" ie some orzo mixed in. Even then he is only picking at his food. He has me very worried but at least it looks like we are moving in the right direction. I have been working with my vet AND an internal med doctor from the Atlantic group I sent you the link to. They are still quite convinced it isn't a shunt. I will be interested to see what the test results from Cornell say!

I think the diagnostics you have had could not lead to the conclusion of "no shunt" - more is needed so I'm glad you are going to go to Cornell with your dog. Good luck.
