His appetite came back with a vengeance last night - I suspect the gabapentin was giving him some trouble. He also ate like usual this morning.

I want to take him to the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Athens. I am going to take him to the neurologist here regardless, but he's had the same eyes on him for 8 years and I think it would be good to get a fresh opinion. Right now the doctors do not want to do a MRI or CT scan unless he's physically unable to walk.
I have never heard of such a thing. Wait until he totally decompensates? Of course I am not a vet...and have not seen your pup.....I just am one who doesn't like treating with meds for lengthy periods of time without knowing what is being treated.
