PLEASE read. Has anyone experienced this? We are struggling to figure out what is going on with our sweet, smart and playful almost 6-month Yorkie. Has anyone experienced their dog crab walking, head jerking and nystagmus all occuring at the same time? He is perfectly fine and healthy otherwise. The episodes are sporadic and after they happen he picks up right where he left off and doesn't miss a beat.
We have had several vet appointments and met with a neurological specialist. Their best guess is hydrocephalus (which I do NOT think he has because his symptoms do not match) or a vascular anomaly. He has been tested twice for a liver shunt and tests came back indicating that his liver function is fine.
We are desperate. I cannot find anything online like what he is experiencing. The next step would be an MRI which the specialist said may not even be conclusive. Any ideas/insight are very much appreciated. |
