Thank you all for the wonderful advice, and I apologize for the very delayed response. I want to give a quick update and unfortunately it isn’t a great one. We determined after many vet visits that Ziggy was suffering from two serious conditions; a congenital defect affecting his inner ear/balance, and also skin cancer. Combined this explains his behavior, as he was constantly dizzy, in pain and battling his own body. An extremely sad situation, and per our vet likely due to over breeding. We were advised after attempting surgery to repair the inner ear defect that his condition was terminal and that euthanasia was the only way to ease his suffering. Of course this was a very difficult few months, hence the radio silence on here, but again I thank you all for the support and care.
