Zara is doing alright, she seems to be adapting decently to being super wobbly. She is however showing signs of the UTI/Infection again. Did another urine culture and the results are that it's the same organism as last time, since she's showing symptoms they have her on the Clavamox again for a couple weeks. Then we will retest.

Zara had a neurologist appointment today, just a consult to see if it looks like she does indeed have the same thing Sonko did. As expected the results of the consult are pretty much the same, an unknown degenerative disease effecting the cerebellum. The neurologist didn't push for an MRI, he didn't think we would have much to gain from it. The slight trunk away when standing still, her stance and her abnormal eye movement when tilting her head up confirmed that she probably has the same thing.

When it is time to let her go we are considering donating her brain to be studied, and potentially a necropsy. Still no word regarding the preliminary results of the research on Sonko's brain, the neurologist said he reached out to t...
