My 2.5 yearold cavalier has got really ill in the last week. Symptoms - stiff neck, head tilted, right shoulder held high and stiff and lame in right foot. I have taken him to the vet twice. To look at him you would think he has a dislocated shoulder but vet ruled out this immediately as no pain. In fact, vet could not pin pain anywhere. Treating him for inner ear infection. On steroids and antibiotics. It is hard to look at him as he has gone overnight from a fantastic humoured beautiful dog to a lack lustre very ill dog. His spirit is really down but livens up if you mention taking him for a walk. Then suddenly he's almost back to normal. He is eating (quite a bit more now as on steroids) but has got very thin. Sleeping a lot too.
Has anyone come across this before. Vet also ruled out virus as he is not vomiting.
