I'm so sorry that Harry is seeming to change for the worse. It is so frustrating when vets (or doctors for that matter) can't identify anything wrong, or even believe in it. Unfortunately, I think there are a lot of physiological things that can happen and vets/drs just have no idea. And it seems, in my experience at least, that if they don't know what it is, they think there isn't anything wrong. There is this weird false confidence thing that doctors (and maybe vets?) are taught in school.
Bodies are complicated. I'm sure that your mom radar is totally on target. You've spent a whole lot more time with Harry than the vet has.
Sorry I don't have anything more comforting to say. Please keep us posted about Harry's health. Having a pet in distress is such a hard, helpless thing to go through. I'm sure your love is helpful to him, whether it cures him or not. I'll send my positive wishes toward him as well, in case that might help.
