Sorry to hear about this.  I would say that Little Guy, probably has had a
stroke.  There is not much a vet can do, and if it is as cold where you live
as it is here, then taking him out of his warm cage to transport him to a
vet, is probably going to do more harm than good.  Continue to keep him
warm.  He sounds well on the way to recovery.  However, if he has developed
a head tilt, this will be permanent.  He will always be lop-sided.  But he
will quickly adapt to a lop-sided world.

Good luck

Sue
