Do you know if the name of the defect the dog had was Atlantoaxial Instability? It will cause death and paralysis. Wheelie Boy Babybear has this. He is my baby. He because paralyzed when he jumped off my lap and broke his neck over two years ago. He is just starting to walk without a wheelchair now. But he had a very bad break when he broke his neck.
Now this pup just had surgery how long ago? It takes time for the meds to kick in and I am almost positive the doc gave her some steroids to give the pup to stop the swelling. After a surgery like this there is a lot of swelling. And she has to give this pup some time to recup. The surgeons usually say 8 weeks crate rest for spinal or crevical surgery. I have gone through all of this so I am here to give you any answers I can. Just ask away and I will get right back to you. Just for right now let your friend know this pup needs time and bed/crate rest. Sending healing thoughts for this baby.
