This poor woman has been through hell & back with the Dr's in her area. It's been like the Twilight Zone for her. This poor pup should have been properly diagnosed months ago. But instead she was told it was Valley Fever & Liver Shunt then Vestibular Syndrome then back to LS then back to VS and every one of the vets said LS that would progress with time. Mickey does not have a liver problem and never has. There is NO excuse for it and Carina went through the exact same thing with Fudge for months & months before she finally got the correct diagnosis of GME. URG
GME is an easy diagnosis when one does a spinal tap. Neurologists recommend MRIs and spinal taps as they are the tools of their trade. Did you ask the OP why she refused a spinal tap at the time of the first MRI? BTW did her insurance pay for both MRIs? Still praying for Mickey.
