Sheila, and Jodi,
I am Val Babybear's mom. The one that TLC and another member posted the videos of. If either of you need any info on Atlanoaxial Instibility please let me know and I will give you the information. That is what Teagon has for the congenital defect. This is what BB has. BB has had surgery for it but we knew nothing about him having a defect in his neck. If you ever want to read his story please let me know I will copy and paste it and email it to you. I also have many files with information on AAI.
I was told Babybear would never walk after his surgery last year to remove one of the pins in his neck. And three days ago he walked for the first time in almost 3 years so miracles do happen and YT prayers will help Teagon pull through this. After surgery and his healing time he will need therapy. Water and Physical. Acupuncture will help also.
As for pain if the congenital defect is bothering him yes he will have pain. That is where the steroids come in. He will need to stay on these until his surgery. They will help reduce the swelling in the spinal cored that can cause the pain from the AAI.
I want you to know that this story has touched my heart in ways you will never know. All AAI(altanoaxial Instibility pups) touch my heart. I am here for you ladies. Anything you need. I so feel for Teagon. I know how BB was and my heart just goes out for this little guy. If you need me for anything you can email me at: Mybabe4me@aol.com I check my emails all the time. So please let me know if there is anything you need. I am sending many many prayers for all involved because this can be a very long journey. One I continue to lead every day.
Question about Teagons bowels and urine. Now where BB could not move away from his urine he would wet himself also. This is why he has worn a diaper for almost three years he knew when he went,because he would tell me by barking. He was on a wee wee pad 24/7 and I used a diaper like a belly band so when he pooped we would only get it on the wee wee pad and it would not stick to his hiney. IS the reason Teagon is going to the bathroom all over himself because he can't move from it? Or is he incontinent?
Again my prayers are with you and I am now lighting a candle for Baby Teagon.
