I finally found one about an hour and a half away. The hospital told me she would be on prednisone for the rest of her life and that her life expectancy would be affected. My wholistic vet told me she could save her life and that all her functions would return to normal and she would have a normal life expectancy if I followed her instructions exactly to the letter. Which I did. And after about 6 months of intensive treatments, therapy and supplements and nutritional adjustments Muffin is her old self again, a normal healthy active baby going on four years old. She was just 1 1/2 years old when this incident occurred. If Zoey has had any vaccinations or combination of vaccinations, I would not waste one second-I would seek out the best wholistic vet in the area. Even if she didn't have any vaccinations recently, I would still look into this option if at all possible. You never know, miracles do happen. Muffin is living proof. She had the exact same symptoms as Zoey, and they are all gone now. Naturally this is your decision, as her mom, but just thought I'd toss this option out there for you to consider. My heart is with you, whatever you decide. I send you and Zoey light and love.
Namaste,

We went back to the vet yesterday to take a look at her
It was the day after the anesthesia , MRI and spinal tap
The vet said there were only 6 drops and therefore was not able to determine the cause of the encephalitis
The vet was amazed she was so responsive given the amount of inflammation found and given the anesthesia medication
She's on cortisone now and her condition has improved
She still has a slight tilt to her head and seems to bd fighting the disbalance
We decided to take her home and care for her , she is able to eat n drink on her own as well as do her business
The vet told us she's got a chance of fighting it off and we should know in a week if the encephalitis is going to be fatal or of she will pull through
I think I will consult a holistic vet to get any kind of additional help
Thanks for all tgf replies and the positive energy
