Oh, my. The poor little thing.

It’s wonderful that you’re trying to help her, but I honestly think — given her issues — that you need the assistance of a good, experienced, non profit dog rescue.

A non profit rescue can raise funds much more easily than an individual (because donations are tax deductible) and without the personal tax consequences an individual might face. Also, an experienced rescue also will have better access to skilled veterinary providers, often at a reduced cost. And I can tell you, from the brief information you’ve given us, that the diagnostics in this case are likely to be extensive and very, very costly.

I’ve been in animal rescue for years, and just from your description, it sounds like this pup has some kind of brain disorder. But it could be infectious or congenital or cancerous or toxin-related or ….

I fostered one small dog with similar neurological symptoms. It was heart rending. And, unfortunately, she was so emaciated by the time she was dumped at the shelter that she couldn’t withstand the diagnostics and eventually had to be euthanized. On necropsy, it was determined she had encephalitis, although the cause wasn’t determined.
