Tucker - Medical hold, can you help?

DEC. 24 UPDATE - Tucker went for his neurology assessment in Nova Scotia on Dec. 18. The diagnosis was Wobblers syndrome. The next steps are some medical managment to see if steroids may help the inflammation and relieve him of some of the symptoms of the condition. He has an appointment on Dec. 29 for more bloodwork, a urinalysis and a couple of radiographs to be sure that he can go on this medication safely. His neurologist said if Tucker responds to the RX, it's a good sign and in two weeks we will reassess to see what the next steps will be. <br/><br/>Friday, Dec. 12 - Tucker is on medical hold.

Tucker falls over, he is shaky on all four legs. He knuckles down on his forelegs to steady himself. Tucker has something neurological going on it seems. We've heard stories that maybe he went down the stairs as a puppy and maybe that caused damage to his neck, but we don't know that for sure. It could be caused by many things including genetics, viruses, diseases.<br/><br/>Besides this unknown condition, he is also battling Lyme disease and is on treatment for that. His future is anything but certain. We don't want to sugar coat things, it may not be good news, but it never hurts to ask for hope and miracles. We have been lucky to receive both this year. <br/><br/>Tucker needs to go to a veterinary neurologist in Nova Scotia so we can see what it may be, and to see if there are any options for him to even stabilize the progression a bit. He does not seem to be in pain (though our pets are good at hiding things), he is continent, though at times he needs help to steady him to use the bathroom. He loves other dogs, he loves people, he's sweet to kitties. He is 18 mos. old and there is no sweeter dog on the planet, so he deserves a chance. Costs are expected to be about $4,000 just to find out what we are dealing with, if you are able to help, he'd sure appreciate it.<br/><br/>Thank you to Amanda Dinsmore who lent us her beloved lost dog Kingsley's deluxe harness which has been vital in helping Tucker get around and be supported. There is nobody who went to the ends of the earth more for her dog, Kingsley than Amanda. Thank you also to Shelley Steers-Morgan for the sticky socks for indoors.
