My cat, "Tink" is 18 and has been walking funny for about one year. As soon as I saw her walking like this, I took her to the vet right away. I thought if it was something simple like earmites or an ear infection, it could be easily treated). The vet said they suspect a central nervous system issue, but we could not afford an MRI. They said it did not seem like she was in pain and to keep an eye on her. When she walks, her hind legs are spread apart and mostly straight. She has also had trouble with balance and jumping on and off of things. I usually don't get to see her that often (about once a year) since she lives with my dad. This week I noticed...

Guidance needed on whether to go for MRI or not
Posted on 2008/01/03 by Mary AnnFirst let me say I know you can not tell me what to do and you haven't seen my dog, I have a 10 y.o American Bulldog, he awoke yesterday with right sided face drooping /eye, he is walking on his knuckles of hind legs and having trouble with balance,he seems to have no control over his hind legs, is lethargic, laying around, no appetite, he was healthy one day (except for allergies) and woke up to this the next. We took him to the vet the same day and left with pretty much no answers, their suggestion of course is to seek a neurologist ( 2 hrs away is closest) MRI etc., the cost of these things is enormous so we are weighing his chances of actually getting better, by this...

Canine Degenerative Myopathy
Posted on 2008/03/02 by UserOur dog had an episode where he could not walk for a period of about 3 days. We took him to emergency hosptial where they did many tests. They gave him a steriod and that helped a lot. This was about 8 years ago. There was no diagnosis found. He is having it again now. I looked up his symptoms and they are just like Canine Degenerative Myopathy with the exception that it states these dogs die within a year of onset. It has been 8 years and our dog has been great until now. Can this disease go away for several years and reoccur?

treatment for 15-year-old dog with brain tumor
Posted on 2008/05/13 by UserI have a 15-year-old Wheaten Terrier with all the symptoms of a tumor in the cerebellum according to the neurologist at the vet school here -- intention tremor, right head tilt, lack of use of back legs, fecal incontinence, crying and panting at night. On the plus side, he has a very good appetite. The vet did not recommend an MRI because he said the dog was too old for surgery or radiation treatment which would require a general anesthetic. We are palliatively treating him with acupuncture and Chinese herbs (from the vet school). My question is: Are we giving up too easily? Should we be more aggresive with the treatment? Are 15-year-old dogs too old to be treated? ...

Pepper jumped off of our bed about about a week ago.He sounded like he landed a little hard. He was okay the first couple of days except he wouldnt jump on the bed or anything. Then he suddenly stopped walking. He would only drag himself aroun. We carried him to the vet. They did spinal hip and skull xrays, Everything came back normal. They also did bloodwork which was normal. They really have no explanation for what is wrong. They sent him home on prednisone. They said he may walk in a few days or it could be weeks. They just dont know, He does'nt seem to be in any pain and he is very alert. He also eats really well. I have noticed since he has been home he...
