This is my first case - think it is generalised neuritis/meningitis

I know is not helpful, but I cannot help it... can you imagine if the dog would have ingested a live lamb?

There, I had to say it, I'll see myself out.

I got the results back this morning - positive for Toxoplasmosis (IgG >200 and IgM >80) so started on clindamycin today, recheck in a week before I'm off for 2 weeks.

Any update? Sorry not to jump in before (cycling in Turkey)

Could it be diskospondylitis? Not the typical signalment, but sounds potentially clinically consistent. Worth a set of spinal radiographs?
