I’m very far from an expert, but encephalitis is also a strong possibility. Seizures are one of the symptoms, especially as the condition develops. I didn’t see the early symptoms in Lexi (my foster) but by the time I picked her up from the shelter, she couldn’t walk without circling, stumbling and eventually falling down. And she did have seizures.
Here’s an article on encephalitis in dogs, if you want to read it. But obviously a vet needs to be involved asap. https://uk.mypetandi.com/health/ence...ses-treatment/
Good luck. I hope things work out better than they did with my foster. |
You are thinking along the same lines as me with the possible issues. I'm hoping to get some answers tomorrow because she has an appt with neurologist. They know we are driving almost 3 hours to see them so I hope they do something.
