It's been about a week on this medication and shes still the same unfortunately. but since yesterday shes only pooped twice. I'm thinking the medication may have made her constipated. Is there anything I can do or give her to help her go to the bathroom?

So she did finally pop but it's just black and formed. I'm not sure if it's from the medications, the steak she ate or if its blood.

Unfortunately I am thinking that she has a brain tumor, is there a life span on them idf they have brain tumors?

I am sorry your little one is having this problem. Bless her heart---hoping she gets better soon.
I do not know anything about brain tumors.
Maybe ur vet's office could tell you if the meds cause constipation and dark stools. I know some meats do cause dark stools. Has she ate steak before?

Unfortunately if that IS the case, prognosis is not good. I can't recall, were any xrays done? Those will show up masses in the body/head.

So sorry that she hasn't improved much. There is blood in the steak since it's raw so yes the stools will be black. I feed steak to my ferret too and his stools will always be very dark in colour.

We went back for a check up and still unsure about a lesion or blood clot in the brain or still possibly a brain tumor. X Ray's were done and it didnt show anything, she said for a definite diagnosis she would need an mri which is way out of my process budget. During the first visit though she did notice with her eyes that if we go like to touch her eyes she dosen't blink but her pupils do respond to the lights. She has to be on antibiotics another week and then a check up in a nother month.

I know when I try to check her sight by almost tapping her eye she doesnt blink. But I dont understand how that would cause the unbalancness or tipping over. Shes still eating good, she always knows where her food is. I do notice shes sniffing alot more now. But she just doesnt seem like her self, she hasnt played since November when her bonded pair passed, she played a day after that happened and that's when she got more and more depressed it seemed and then her symptoms started. So I'm just not sure, I'm literally always worrying about her 24/7

If she IS blind, that would explain the lack of blink as well as her sniffing and not playing. One of mine who developed early cataracts stopped playing after banging into things a few times.
