Dears Sphynxers, I need your help. i have Eli 10 year old boy, he started to have difficulties with balance and walking. I took him to vet but his blood results are ok. Would you have any idea what it could be and how I could help him. I would really need help from somebody with similar issue.

@Danca , hugs n positive vibe for Eli. did vet take a listen to his heart? have a ProBnp test in bloodwork?
did he lose balance and then get up like nothing happened? any vocalization? lose stool or pee? did symptoms came and go or continuing ?
how is Eli now? I try to take video to share with vet. if you have a video don't hesitate to share with vet and us.

Yoda num thank you very much, I will try to share the video. He walks like drunken. Truth is that his teeth is not the best but now I can not put him under anesthesia. The stool is hard, pee normal and he eats and drinks. He is lethargic though. Vocalization less than before. Nothing special. I will try to take video. I contacted a second vet already nd planning to take him to neurologist. I will take video once he gets up.

I would get a second opinion. Possibly an inner ear infection? They might look at his teeth as well incase there is an infection…that is also affected the ears. Did you get a video of them walking to share with your vet? @Danca
The teeth can be an issue, but the vet checked it:-( thanks my dear for your input. I will try to ask them again for checking his teeth
