HELP, not a yorkie but a brussels griffon mix rescued from shelter statrted off with leg tremor in aweeks time progressed to three limbs and now has seizures. Has had 5 in 1 hr. Vet suspects congenital neurological disorder or possible distemper. I asked about liver shunt but all bloodwork came back normal. He is very playful and eats well, no head pressing orwalking along walls. Our rescue has no money for am MRI so coordinator is thinking we will have to put him down if we are unable to control seizures. Any thoughts?
