Except his front legs seemed most affected. Same as with you after alot of testing both at the emergency vet (His episode happened at 12 at night) and the following day at our own vet. All were inconclusive. We stopped short of getting him a MRI to see if he had a brain tumor. Everyday he did get a little better. His balance, walking and the funny look in his eyes. It took about 2 weeks for him to get about 90% back. Still every time he stumbles or looks tired we worry far too much, is it happening again. Like you we put Kody in the car that night, with two adult children in the drive crying you better bring our Kody Boy home. We were that scared he wasn't going to make it to the Vet. Kody looks very much like your Aki only he weighs 65lbs. We don't know what he is mixed with and the Vet can't even guess he looks so much like one. Screams like one too. His chart lists him as a Giant Shiba Inu. Sorry for writing a book. There is nothing we wouldn't do for our Kody. And to think when he was an 8 week old puppy something threw him into a field to fend for himself. And he found his way into my brother in law's yard and into our hearts. Already had 3 dogs never had 4 before but what else are you going to do with a very dirty, crying, cold puppy. He is doing well today and has never had another episode. Fingers crossed. So I hope Aki never does again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581775978585144683.post-74744789534798085052011-04-28T00:30:58.647-05:002011-04-28T00:30:58.647-05:00Hoping this might be helpful--try reading the &quo...Hoping this might be helpful--try reading the "I am shiba" blog (just google it) by Cortez who has a diagnosis with intermittent symptoms resembling those of your shiba.
