I'm growing pretty concerned for Loopy (my train wreak spinner who has horrible neurological problems)

For the past few weeks, Loopy has not been himself. He doesn't want to eat, don't seem to be gaining hardly any weight, he can't stop spinning, and seems to always be on his back. I can't tell you how many times he has given me a near heart attack by seeing that he was upside down and thinking he was dead. He can't flip himself over, so once he's on his back... he's stuck.

His temps are fine, he doesn't have any signs of an RI. I'm just growing real worried that something is not right as far away as normal that Loopy is.

I know other breeders have seen and maybe have had a train wreck spinner before. Over time did they get worse? Did they not live that long? Etc???? I don't know much about spinners besides what I know about Loopy.


I'm not sure what to do. Take him to the vet, but I've been warned that they may just want to put him down because of his problems that look a lot like something else (which I'm not even going to name). My boyfriend said that maybe it's his time to leave this earth. If that is the case how can I tell if he is in pain? I often wonder if I did the right thing with his life by kind of making him have to live a year ago. I know if it weren't for me, he would have not made it. Now I'm wondering if he has any hope left or if I should put him down?

He has me torn to pieces!
