Hi, I've been keeping an eye on your "eye discharge" post.  I didn't want to say anything (unneccisarily scare you) until you went to your vet but it sure sounds like what happened with my Levi . Levi had Lung mets in January but they weren't bothering him.  Then in April-ish he had a runny nose.  I was sure this was the end so I called my vet hysterical and she said it might just be a sinus infection. So we tried antibiotics and they cleared it up while he was on them but it would come right back. Long story short we spent six weeks or so trying different antibiotics. During this time he had a couple seizures.  The first one he had was incredibly scary because I had no idea anything about seizures so i rushed him to the vet because I thought he was dying. Anyway, We couldn't figure outi f the antibiotics were causing the seizures or something else...So we stopped all antibiotics (they were making him not eat anyway). Then, he became uncoordinated like you are talking about.  It was subtle at first but then got worse. It was very sad.  I brought him to the chiropractor thinking that might be the problem but it wasn't...He also just seemed "off". Like he had a differnent personality.  Sometimes you would call him and he would just stare at us...Nothing dramatic but when you know your dog-you know when they are "off". We never tried to get all of this diagnosed because there was nothing we could do anyway.  Levi did have a large hard bump on his back. When the vet saw him when we brought him in to put him to sleep she said it was definitely cancer spread.  He must have had a tumor in his nose too.  That's why his runny nose wouldn't clear up and he had eye discharge too. even with all of these problems I still really struggled with "picking the day." He didn't seem to be in any pain so I didn't get "the look". But he wasn't eating so he was very thin...we spent about two weeks terrified he would have another seizure so my husband and I took turns staying home with him.  These two weeks were unbelieveably difficult and stressful.  Levi did have another seizure while not on any meds so at that point we knew it must be cancer...The morning we brought him to be put to sleep he was perky and ate beef jerky in the back seat with me.  Again, it wasn't an obvious "its time to put him to sleep" for us. But when you're dealing with the brain there are a lot of unknowns that could happen and we couldn't keep staying home with him. We didn't want something terrible to happen to him (continuous seizures or personality change, etc) and then we would have to remember that...We could have bought a few more weeks with some prednisone but we chose not to do that. I think the only way to know for sure if it's in the brain is to do an MRI.  They are pretty expensive and Levi's cancer was already in his lungs too.  The thing that really threw me off is that I thought in the end he would be in pain and it would be obvious when it was time to go.  But I feel like with brain cancer it wasn't super obvious because we kept wondering if it was something else causing all the symptoms...very stressful.  Please let me know if you have any other questions...

Yes, I hope this isn't the case for you! You aren't dealing with lung mets and seizures like we were so this definitely could be something else!

Oh, I'm so sorry to read this you. You are right - this stage is so hard. We are thinking of you and sending pawsitive thougths.

Hang in there,

I am so so sorry to hear about Kash.  We also saw the cancer spread to Magnum's back leg. Nothing prepares you for this stage of the journey. It is the price of loving so deeply. Sending you lots of healing hugs.
