[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1098729, member: 14544"] The grand dam having similar symptoms and the normal time between symptoms with this being the only animal affected should weigh heavily when considering all differentials if you do not have a definitive answer in the end. Ruling out lead and thiamine deficiency is just smart to do since there are so many unknown factors, and you can do something about them. But I am thinking along the same lines as you, that with normal behavior in between- polioencephalomalacia, lead toxicosis, plant toxicities and disorders that generally carry other symptoms (depressed or altered mentation) and aren't here now gone in 10 minutes type situations- they are pretty low on my list of possibilities. As was stated earlier, without a necropsy of the brain, you likely won't find the definitive answer. But it is understandable why you didn't get a sample in this situation. [/QUOTE]
