Thanks Melody. Max is home but is quite restless. He is visual but can't focus. I've decided to take a very conservative approach to his treatment and if he does not respond then I will let him go. He either has an abscess in his brain which is putting pressure on his ocular motor nerve or he has a brain tumor. There is not treatment for the tumor and thus we are providing treatment for a possible abscess. He is on a very high dose of steroids in an attempt to reduce any possible swelling on his ocular motor nerve as well as antibiotics which will penetrate the blood brain barrier and in turn treat the abscess if that is what the problem is. If this is the correct treatment he should begin responding in the next 3 - 5 days. It is going to be a very long week.
