Unless this is a VIRAL meningitis it absolutley should show up in tests. Viral panels will show the most common viral agents so it would have to be a very rare organism if the cultures didn't show anything. Tell the vet you want a myelogram. This can give additional findings that may not show up on the MRI.

Dog bless,

After every test the neurologist could think of, we didn't find anything. Ruby got to the point she would not walk, it was like she didn't have the energy. She had been on a high dose of steroids but still was not working. She got a skin infection that spread very quickly and compromised her immune system even more. Sadly, she passed away Dec. 4, 2008. She just didn't have the energy to fight anymore! Thanks to everyone for such support and offering information.

I'm so sorry this happened to her and your family, especially around the holidays. She is full of energy now and is running everywhere now! Jan

So sorry to hear this:( You went above and beyond what a lot of people would have done to try and help her. She is very lucky to have had such a loving family.

What level of quality are you shooting for?

Thanks to you all for the sincere comments. We will never know what was actually making her so ill but we tried very hard to figure it out!

I just want to say "buy from a responsible, caring breeder who is breeding to better the breed, not just make money."

Once again, thanks to everyone. Hopefully, we will get another precious neo soon!

Happy Holidays,
Brooke
