    I imagine this must be scary for your sister as it seems to happen when she is alone with a big dog - too big for her to carry to the car if needed.

    These symptoms sound serious to me, and the need for more skilled veterinary care is called for. I'm not sure an emergency vet would be able to help, I think sheis on the right track asking for a specialist. But which type of specialist? Maybe that is whythe vet is holding off, hoping that osmething in all the test results will indicate that.

    And Ben must be terrified as his body is betraying him.

    I hope she can find the proper medical advice to help! Best wishes for all.

    I would have your sister take Ben to a different vet and get another opinion, when my Ginger was diagnosed with a brain tumor there was no blood work or anything like that, that could diagnose it, the only thing is either a cat scan or an mri, but i warn you they are very expensive. It sounds like to me he is having siezures and possibly does have something to do with the brain, before they diagnosed mine she did all sorts of weird things.
    I really will pray for the best, I know this is horrible for your sister not really knowing what is going on.
