The vet stated her kidney values were within normal parameters and her heart sounds were clear. I've decided to try some prednisilone .2 x 2 per day for 3 to 4 days just to see if there is any improvement as I have read through the archives and possible insulinoma appears to be the cause in many of the posts for head tilting and walking in circles. I figured if there is no improvement I can ween her off the pred without any negative results. I forgot to mention the vet is sending a blood sample to a lab to detect in fact how much insulin is in her blood. The results should be back within three days. Thanks for your reply Sukie, I appreciate it.
