My little man is not very well. Vet has diagnosed central Vestibular Disease, likely caused by EC as he has had exposure via Nancy. He was absolutely fine last night but he was dragging his back legs this morning although ate well by hand feeding. He deteriorated with nodding head and eyes.

I managed to see my 'favourite' vet and Will has had injections of Metacam and Baytril and first Panacur dose at the vets. He is at home now with Nancy looking after him.

We have critical care in case he cannot eat unaided. I have very bad feelings about this.

Any spare vibes much appreciated.

My boy Rudey went from perfectly mobile to dragging his back legs recently. This was about 5 -6 weeks ago. He's moving fine now (just to give you hope) You got him treatment really fast so I really hope its a success. Loads of vibes for Will. Its hard but try to keep the faith he can get better xx
 
Sending lots of vibes, have experience of vestibular disease and it can be very up and down but they can make a recovery x
 
I am really sorry to hear this :cry: Did the Vet advise you to treat Nancy with Panacur again too ? IMO she should be. Sending lots of vibes xx
 
I'm sad to read this about your lovely Will. Sending him loads of vibes and hoping that he improves soon.

Great news on both counts. It may take a long time but recovery is possible and the fact that he has already shown some improvement is very encouraging xx
