Cyanide Poisoning in 3 of my dogs.
Almost lost 3 of my dogs this weekend. Still not out of the woods with one of them. :( One dog went down completely on Thursday. Because only one eye dilated the ER "insisted" it was a brain tumor....

From what I've read only 10% have brain tumors. % Doesn't fit what they are seeing and diagnosing as one...
I can think of three brain tumors (definitely less that a dozen between all the vets in our hospital) that I had confirmed with CT or MRI in 37 years of practice. They just are not that common. You do have to consider them with neurological signs in an older dog, but it seems like a jump to get to brain tumor first and without supporting MRI or CT. There are just so many other things that can explain neuro signs.
