Well I took DancerMan to the vet today. He is still wobbly and has limited use of his back legs, but there is no sign of Lyme disease or any other tick born disease. The vet said that his symptoms are very characteristic of a nerve issue. He said it could be something as simple as a pinched nerve. He gave Dancer a cortisone shot and then gave me some anti-inflammatory pills to give Dancer once a day. Hopefully this will be all that Dancer needs.

5/8/09 update: so far the meds are helping Dancer still has a little bit of wobbliness but he gets around much better now and fall less often

thanks everyone for wishing him well

It looks like I may have to take one of my dogs to the vet tomorrow. My poor little DancerMan is having trouble using his back legs.

I noticed this morning that he was wobbling around and I thought this was a prelude to one of his epileptic seizures so I gave him one of his phenobarbital pills. I can not tell if it has made any difference. I do not think he is worse, but he does not seem any better. He has some problems getting around right now. It looks like he may be having some nerve problems with his back legs. He is still eating and drinking so that is a good sign, and he does not seem to be upset or distressed by his problem. He probably is so used to experiencing mobility issues periodically due to his occasional seizures that he is not scared yet. I am going to watch him overnight and if he is still not moving well I am going to see if I can get him in to the vet tomorrow.
