I can't emphasize enough.... do this now!

I agree 1000%
vets are wrong sometimes, do not waste time with new meds working

He's booked in for Monday x

Oh so good to hear. This is an orthopedic specialist right...please keep a Neurologist or better yet a Neurosurgeon in mind...my prayers continue.

Just a quick update! Well my little man is home safe and sound, he's a little cold and sleepy from the anaesthesia after X-rays at new vets! Mr G has a partial prolapsed disc that does NOT require surgery which is a huge relief but we are now on a course of steroids and painkillers and strict rest for six weeks! Thank you so much

So glad that you now know exactly what is going on, and that it won't require surgery!

All the symptoms match and can mimic tumours in the brain but because he's not disorientated it would appear it's not a tumour! So great news we hope....lots of rest for little man then back to the vets next week, a new one that is that specialises in orthopaedics, Better service from over a thousand miles away than face to face!

Thank you so much everyone, I'm absolutely relieved that it's not his brain it would seem and he's come on loads in the last day with restricted mobilization by us literally containing him in his crate when we can't watch him for more than 5 minutes. x

Good news I hope the new Vet specialist finds the proper treatment to help your sweet Gizmo get better. Best wishes for you and Gizmo
