Case 7: Hugo

An older Poodle named Hugo presents to your clinic. His owners have noticed that he has been losing weight and not eating as much. He also had an episode last week where he collapsed during his daily walk. Today, they are bringing him to you because he started bumping into things this morning, and generally seems pretty disoriented.
