My chin Snoops is still on the road to recovery from his near-death experience with heat stroke. I'm glad to say though that he's somewhat back to his old self. The only issue is that I guess he may have had some neurological damage, as he has trouble balancing, wobbles to the left the majority of the time, and cannot jump. Occasionally he can hop onto something at a low level, but he'll usually fall onto his (bad) side if he tries to jump or run to fast. Also once or twice I saw him practically running in place/backwards, I don't know what that was. He is finally eating and drinking avidly, however, so I'm not sure if this is a permanent thing, or if he's still healing.
The last time I took him to the vet, he was still being handfed, and I was told that he "most likely had brain damage," so I need to get a second opinion from someone that does a true examination (it wasn't a chin doctor).
Anyway, apart from the wobbling Snoops seems to be doing pretty well. He's back to responding to his name, and still has all his old habits...so it makes me wonder if he has brain damage. Could the stroke have just affected his control over his motor skills/hind legs? Any advice/knowledge from someone who knows more about this than I do would be much appreciated, thanks!
