The second article mentions a medication that may help but he has other medical problems that might conflict with this. IDK, I'll just have to ask the vet about that.
Alex still has a very good appetite and hasn't lost a whole lot of weight. If I just knew he wasn't suffering I wouldn't be so upset, but I don't know what he's going through. 
And with his loss of coordination and difficulty getting up/down the ramps in the house I'm so afraid he's going to hurt himself badly (he gets part way up/down a ramp then stops, and when he's ready to go again I don't think he remembers where he's at and walks right of the side of the ramp  ). He's walked off the side of the bed, too. I tried to start closing the bedroom door to keep him off the bed at nights, but he cried so hard and seemed so scared, I had to let him sleep with me. Now I sleep with him connected to me by a short leash so he can't go anywhere without waking me up. |
Ah, poor dear Alexander. It's got to be so frightening for him.
I have a bed rail for Lady so she won't walk off the bed. Maybe this would be easier than the leash?
