Gosh, hard call, Mare. Obviously, something is going on and obviously it is hidden. (This can happen in humans, too, BTW, I recently finished over a year with an orthopedic surgeon overseeing my recovery due to a bilateral crippling of unknown cause. Thank goodness it wasn't something like Charcot Tooth Marie, a brain tumor, or any of the other bad things we had to eliminate from the running.)

This may be something where you just have to know that there are multiple possibilities but unless things worsen the cause may not be found. Honestly, it would be better to not have them worsen. Hopefully, they won't. If they don't and you still wonder then after the cardiomyopathy eventually takes him have a pathologist also do the necropsy because if the cause is neurological then it could be far from where the symptoms lie and doing it the more standard way might result in the needed tissue not being sent.
