Jimmy Whippet is really poorly :(
Discussion
Today we are shortly heading off for a referral to a neuroloy vet with a high possibility of Jimmy having an MRI. Don't think I've ever felt quite so much dread before and Fitz my cat has done his bes on thst score over the years!
My stomach is churning, my hands are shaking and I have been on the verge of tears since yest (well verge is not quite true I broke down in front of everyone at work!)
My dear, sweet, loving most wonderful Jimmy is a poorly boy and my boss is really concerned. She has been honest and has said she is worried that he ma have a brain tumour. I have never hoped so hard that she be completely wrong.
This is such a shock that I haven't had time to take it all on board (he was seen yest, appt today) I don't know why I'm posting this but I hope we're wrong (there is a chance of eg meningitis or a bleed on the brain) and I hope I can soon be smiling again because right now I don't feel I have a whole lot to smile about
Jimmy chillin' a few short months ago

No brain tumour seen, which I am so relieved to be able to say but we are not out of the woods yet. The truth is they don't know what is wrong. They are going to get a top Neuro vet to look at the images asap.
I am for now just relieved that he is back home albeit very groggy and even more wobbly than before.
Still a very worried Mum (and Dad and family and friends!) one day at a time for now

Jimmy enjoyed the snow today
He didn't want to be out long (couple mins) but he did have a bit of a run around, though sadly fell over twice due to his ataxia
I hope we get some answers because he's in a sad place right now re: long term quality of life.
Though maybe he'll get better on his own,
Tried to rotate the pic, failed miserably!
