Still waiting!
We strongly suspect that Shaina has a neurological disorder. The only way to know for sure, though, is by doing a blood panel with full pathology. **We cannot giver her this procedure until she is fully sponsored!!!**
Until we can fundraise the cost of the procedure, Shaina will have to wait. We're providing as much care and support as we can, but we won't really have answers or next steps until we can do the bloodwork.
Shaina has been feeling rather disoriented lately! Her balance is of and she appears to be leaning at times. Her symptoms aren't always present, though. In fact, we took her to the vet once and they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Back home, though, the symptoms persisted. We took her back and this time, they saw for themselves what we suspected.
The vet noticed the same disorientation and leaning. While at the vet, Shaina started showing a new symptom--fly biting, or biting and snapping at something (that isn't there) in the air. She also started chasing her tail, but not in a fun or playful way. Both behaviors can be a sign of neurological conditions like seizures.
The only way to know for sure what's going on will be a complete bloodwork panel, reviewed by an expert pathologist. Unfortunately, we need to fundraise the cost before we can afford the procedure!
Bloodwork may be the key to unlocking Shaina's treatment plan, but we need your help to get there.
