I live in the Boston Area. We had the Head Neurologist at Angell go over his CT scans. He is saying that Jake's injury is at the lower level. He does have
movement. We are not letting him walk and his brace must be on for 8 weeks. They are saying that surgery is not the way to go. Too risky. He is very small and very weak right now. I am hoping that this is the right thing to do. The 3 Neurologists there all seems to agree. Jake's Vet too. So we
comfort him and try and nurse him back.
Thank you for all your information, I am just trying to get as much as I can.
I am so very grateful for your heko and caring.
Will keep in touch, so busy right noe trying to work and care for our baby.
But everyone is praying for him and pitching in.
Take care
and Thank you again
Pam

I do have a thread on here about what happend to Babybear my yorkie baby he is now 2 years and 8 months. He has/had AAI/AAS but has had the surgery. With him I had no option. He jumped off my lap and broke his neck. So if you can please make prefectly sure he is not moving around alot because this can happen to your little one. Let me know if you would like more info on this disease I will help as much as possible. But if there is a chance of you having surgery for your little one you are much better off. This is why I am asking where you live. You would not be able to have your vet do surgery unless he specializes in this type of surgery. YOu need to see a neurologist to do this type of surgery. I will say it is exspensive. But truthfully it is a must with these AAI/AAS babies. The paralyzes will get worst not better unfortantunely. So please let me know a little more info and I will help you out. I will find my post of Baby's story and PM it to you. |
