And guess what ,no surgery. These little dogs often slip discs jumping off the furniture.

I would see a specialist first just to be on the safe side becuase if it is AAI going to a chiropractor can do more damage. I believe Vicki had a adjustment made On Bleu Boy before being diagnosed with the AAI and was told she was lucky he did not kill her pup. Don't quote me on that I will have to go back through her threads.
But I do know that chiropractors can cause more damage to AAI pups. Becuase it is not disks that are slipped out of place with Atlantoaxial Instability it is the ligements and dens that are involved and the dens are what holds the neck to the head.
Just my thoughts here.
