Hi Patty, Than you so much for your input and your sympathy, I can;t tell you how much it means to me.
I will update my original post with today's developments.
Hi Agilebasenji, I have thought about alternative medicine and have asked a few people about it but have not received any recommendations so I will have to search the internet for those resources.
Hi Ivoss,
Thanks for your reply. For the back/neck pain we put him on a mild pain killer and an anti inflammatory meds and had him on low exercise and I had already replaced the collar with a harness several months ago since both my boy and girl had incidents with with a pulled muscle or pinched nerve in the neck/back which comes and goes. And yes a low thyroid can cause seizures but my vet told me that the second blood test indicated that the low thyroid is due to a secondary cause rather than a hypo-active thyroid gland.
My boy is at the vet right now and I will be picking him up at he end of the day.
