My vet says to wait, I don't know what to do...I obviously want to find out whats wrong but I don't want to seem overprotective or neurotic and my vet bill is 600+dollars right now. My little baby Molly was spayed on Friday so I have been watching her over the weekend as well. I am a nervous mother! I was trying to find info on animal neurologists but I don't think there are any in my area. Plus like I said, I don't know what to test for if he isn't having any other symptoms. What should I do? I am just terrified that if we wait for another episode then it will be too late 
I am so, so sorry about Trixie. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I will say a prayer for you and your baby. |

I would at least get a second opinion... many vets are not that familiar with specific diseases that affect Yorkies... that's why you may do better seeing a specialist. Also, if your vet suggested hydrocephalus, but then didn't recommend further investigation... that would worry me. There are a few diseases that present with Hydrocephalus, they are AAI, GME, NME, Chiari, Syringomyelia and others. Spinal Taps and MRIs are nomally done to come to a specific diagnosis, as treatment varies for each.
Keeping you all in my prayers...
