Atlanto-Axiel Subluxation w/Non-ambulatory Terta paresis? It's a genetic malformation of the first and second vertebrae.
We picked up a foster on Sat. She is 4 months old and only weighs 1 1/2 lbs. We took her to a specialist today to have her looked at. He said surgery was the only possibility to help her out. She currently cannot walk. She however is in good spirits and loves to eat. He told us that this is common in Yorkies..so I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this and whether anyone has had the surgery done..
She is going to Angell tomorrow in MA for a consultation and most likely surgery on Wed.
Because hers is so severe and she's young and small none of this this in her favor..and the fact she's been more than a week with the injury is not good. It can be complicated by even a slight injury.
Any information anyone can pass on would be appreciated and of course we will take all and any prayers for her. She is listed on
Yorkies Inc. if you want to see her picture. I don't know how to resize.
Thank you....
