Zooey update:
We went to see a neurologist this afternoon.Same as the first vet, she has diagnosed her with Vestibular syndrome of unknown origin. The neurologist did a 25-30 min neurological evaluation. Says that considering what she is going through, Zoey responded surprisingly well to all the tests. So she supports the ear infection hypothesis. She has adjusted her medication though. She reduced the dosage of the 1st antibiotic by 75%. She did add another antibiotic to make sure we covers more types of bacterial infections. She also prescribed a anti-nausea med to make a bit more bearable for our little zoey.
The neurologist reassured my spouse that 3-4 days is way too early for Zoey to show any signs of improvement. We should 1st expect zoey to stabilize and then slowly over the course of severall weeks to recover.
Just to make sure, she did a blood test on her which we do not have the results yet. And has warned us that if no signs of improvement or deterioration, over the next couple of weeks , an MRI would be to next step.
Will keep you posted..........thanks for all the responses and well being wishes |
