If you don't have a vet school nearby, see if there is a neurologist at a specialty center near you. I wouldn't wait another minute. Otherwise have you vet get on the phone with a neurologist- or call yourself. Tina Schuler

They often have a variety of specialists and can help diagnose these scary problems. I live near Va Tech and I assure you I'd have my do over there in a heartbeat if they were acting this scary. But maybe I'm overly quick after watching a litter mate to my male go from top-of-form, winning in the ring, full of himself to being put to sleep - in about 2 weeks time - He was put down due to extreme pain - his first indication something was wrong - Lymphoma - multiple places - poor guy really had a hard 2 weeks - Joan Robinson New Castle VA Floyd & Carolyn Adams wrote: > I am writing hoping that someone on the list can help me with a problem I am having with a 5 month old puppy. I noticed on Monday that she seemed to be having problems walking. I thought maybe one of the older dogs had run into her and hurt her in some way. I watched her and yesterday decided it was more than that. I took her to my vet for a check. She thought it was a central nervous system problem. She checked ears to make sure they were okay and they were fine. She felt all up and down her spinal column and it didn't appear to be a problem. She doesn't appear to be in any pain. She walks like a new born calf ....all wobbly. She walks and falls down. She has eaten very little since Monday. She is not drinking. I can tell she is not seeing well. She doesn't seem to be able to focus and growls when the other dogs are in the room with her which is totally not like her. I had a micro chip put in on Sunday. Has anyone ever had a problem caused by a chip? I have wondered if it could have been a mushroom that she had eaten. I also feed a raw diet and she has had raw chicken. Her littermate ate the raw diet and chicken, too. He doesn't have a problem. Any ideas would be most appreciated. I don't know how long I should wait before taking her to a specialist. She is the daughter of my Susie that I lost in October. I don't know exactly what to do next.
