I'm trying hard not to be a pest.... I see Dr. Schueler is Board Certified which is great and great that he's 24/7.

I forgot to ask... did he take any jumps off the furniture or stairs and have an awkward landing?

I really am only trying to help, we have had a few similar cases here on YT, but I don't want to overwhelm you by pointing you to all of them. If you could answer the questions, I may be able to narrow it down some and give you links to the most appropriate cases that are most similar to what your dog is doing. Many of these cases were overlooked by regular vets and the diagnoses were not made until the dog had been seen by a neurologist. Some had never been diagnosed. It bothers me that the first three vets don't know what is wrong, but can tell you it's not an emergengy.

There is 'light at the end of the tunnel', but the earlier these disorders are diagnosed, the sooner the pup is treated. Time can be an extremely critical factor in these instances.

I will follow this thread to see what happens Monday, and I sincerely wish you the very best of luck and a speedy diagnosis and recovery for your baby....

Oh, Hi and Welcome to YT! (although I wish it was under better circumstances)
