COTM: Painful & ataxic Cavalier

The patient was referred for progressive neurologic signs. He started scratching his abdomen about 3 weeks prior to referral. There was no response to a course of oral cefpodoxime and topical antibiotic spray. He was taken to the ER department of another local specialty hospital 5 days later for suspected pain and inappetance.
