WOW!! What an incredibly sad story! I have no recall of ever hearing of anything like this. It sounds like a reaction to something but I'm no expert. All I can offer is my thoughts and prayers for Ben and Judy. I feel really bad for them. It must be devastating to go through this.

I honestly don't know what it could be, but I just wanted to let you know that I am adding my thoughts and prayers for Ben. It sounds like your sister is doing everything possible.

WOW!
Add me to the list of people that have never heard anything like this!
Has he had a cat scan? Maybe they need to look further into something Neurological.

[Cataholic]

He hasn't had a CAT, though, he has had an ultrasound on the midsection. An endoscopy has been considered. Apparently, there was something in the tests done already that ruled out neurological issues? Is that possible? I understand that a MRI of the brain would be more definitive, but, can something be gleaned, neuro wise, from lab results?

I don't know how that works, but if it were my dog and he was having these issues, I'd want to see a picture of his brain.

That is so sad for the dog & for your sister's family.I hope with more
testing they can narrow this down. My best guess from what you've said,
is a neurological issue, a stroke or something. I think I'd try the CAT test
to totally eliminate anything like tumor, etc. Prayers for Ben & the family.
