Norman’s Story

Age at diagnosis: 8 months

Breed: Cocker Spaniel X Cockapoo

Norman is 8 months old and was recently diagnosed with MUE. We were heartbroken and do not know much about this heartbreaking disease. Norman's head began bobbing up and down and side to side and he could not walk in a straight line. We rushed him to the vet and this is where the news unravelled. He is now on lifelong medication and we have a follow up in one month to see how he is adjusting to his medication. All we can do is pray for our Norman and hope that he pulls through this.

Norman is part of The Theo Project's canine meningitis registry - a growing global collection of MUE, MUO and SRMA stories shared to help families facing this diagnosis.
