How small is Skeeter? When Sedrick had his surgery he only weighed 3 and 1/2 pounds and his surgery lasted for 6 hours and he came through without major problems and he had been without food for almost 4 days - only had iv therapy. I know my husband pm'ed you back regarding the cost associated with this surgery but I want to instill that if you have the available funds than the surgery should not be an option. If you could see our little boy now it would definately make you go ahead with surgery. If you wish to phone me to discuss the surgery and aftercare we provided just let me know and I will send you my home and work number. You really need to know everything you are up against.
I am glad to hear that he has some purposeful movement in his limbs and he will be in my thoughts continuously until we get an update.
One quick question, if your vet knows that it is AAS why are they doing an MRI? Sedrick presented with AAS with only xray and seeing that AAS is associated only with c1 and c2 vertibrae and I do not know why they feel an need to do this?
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help
With thoughts and prayers,
