Its happening again, started back up about 4 days ago. I've spent 4 days googling too, coming up fairly empy.

Last month, he started falling down when he'd stand in one spot over 30 seconds. I took him to the vet one day, did senior panel. then to ER vet the next cause it got much worse. Bout 4 days later, it just stopped. Neither Vet came up with anything, except my vet said he must have eaten a green lizard. Emergency vet said if it kept happening, he needed to see a Neurologist.

Thursday, this started back up. I don't think the chances of him eating a lizzard 2 months in a row could be right, especially when he won't chase anything.

When standing still, Adonis looks almost like he's starting to rock or hiccup (only description I can find for the moves he's making). Then his feet start slipping out from under him. If he gets up and starts walking, it stops in its tracks! So he knows how to get himself out of that "state".

I've also wondered and googled about Heart Guard he takes too. That is the only med other than his flea med (advantage II) that he's on. It can cause staggering in some pets.

I know if we can get the appointment, it'll be an overnight trip. I will have to board Venus. Really can't afford any of this but have credit card, will take care of my boy. I've had him since 2001. Never had kids, so Adonis IS my child.

Its breaking my heart and tearing me up wondering what is wrong, and knowing I'll have to wait till my doc sets this up. I never got a call back today.
