 So it turns out...
That my puppy may have Atlantoaxial Subluxation. She has an occasional cough, so she had x-rays done to check for collapsed trachea, but there are no signs of that. The vets did notice the possibility of her having Atlantoaxial Subluxation, although it could have been the position she was in is just making it look like that. She would need to have x-rays done in the proper position, and would need to be put under for this. I don't want to have to put her under more than needed, so I think I'm going to wait until she's fixed in a few months time. I have to keep her relatively calm (good luck), and watch for any difference in her walk, or the way she holds her neck, etc. I'm really hoping she doesn't have this, or it could mean her having to wear a neck brace, or have surgery depending on the extreme.
Has anyone had any experience with this before? |
