So it's possible his hearing has gone out as well. Our neuro consult isn't until Tuesday, until then I have meds and trying to stay sane. The other speciality clinic close to me is at the University of Georgia and they don't have a neuro appointment until next Friday. Troy got some fluids and I've given him his meds for the night. Just waiting on him to sit down for more than 2 seconds.

Rachael, I'm so sorry you & Troy are going through this. I know how frantic you are feeling and want to do the best you can for your little guy.

We did indeed take Zhoie to North Carolina State University Vet School when she had symptoms of AAI. If you can go to NCSU you can go in through the emergency room 24 hours a day, they will do an evaluation and then refer him directly over for a neuro consult.

If you can't get to NCSU, does the Univ of Georgia have an E.R? I would think they would, just go straight to the E.R., I'm sure they will evaluate Troy and refer you to neuro. It's worth the try so there is no wait time. I also found a private practice neuro was much more expensive than the vet school.

I'm a strong supporter of vet schools. Their knowledge, skill level and up to date equipment is amazing. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
