Male Pomeranian circling, reluctant to stand
The 2 year old, male, Pomeranian dog with micro chip number 941000016475157 is having difficulty standing and walking.

If left untreated, this neurological problem can become more severe and might prevent the dog from eating and drinking. This dog must be examined by a veterinarian. Documentation of the diagnosis and treatment must be available for review by APHIS officials. Correct by: 27 August 2014
