Help for Milo

Meet Milo, a 2 year old, who has likely known nothing but neglect for his entire life. He has a cognitive challenge which intermittently alters his behavior. He may act aloof initially, before snuggling up for pets. He may walk nicely on young deer-like legs for a few minutes, before digging in his heels and not moving for a minute. He may eat a little food, before circling around his bowl and deciding whether to eat more or not.

Milo has visited a neurologist and there are a couple of possible diagnoses, from a congenital issue to an atypical inflammatory condition. We have sent off a genetic testing kit to UC Davis. The results may shed light on his condition and guide us toward better care.
