My pup is not doing so well. He’s a 10.5 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback. In the middle of the night, he seemed to lose control of his back legs. He was walking around sort of drunkenly and leaning on things and his back legs kept coming out from under him. He was real wobbly until about 8am and then it seemed just a favoring/slight dragging of his one back leg. I also noticed on this same leg he was tucking his toes under and standing that way which is very unusual.
Long story short the vet thinks he had some sort of brain event and should see a neurologist. The idea currently is that he’ll need an MRI. We actually had an appt scheduled for tomorrow to review an abdominal ultrasound that suggested inflammatory bowel disease. The vet suggested we cancel that for now and focus our energy on this current issue.
Any ideas, advice, dust?
