I want to thank you for the replies... i have searched the forum and it has helped so much to make the decision to take her to the vet.
Our Chiropractor has a little clicky thing and does a non force technique, but, now that i have read the site and info, especially on baby bear, I wish i did not go to the chiropractor.
I have a vet appointment tomorrow, they have digital xray protocol. It will cost 56 for the visit, and 219 for 2 xrays. I will make sure they know how to deal with AAI before I go in. Her only symptoms are tilting head, and acting like her neck is stiff. she barks, runs, eats, plays, and jumps. I have been helping her up on the couch with me instead of her jumping, and trying to keep her more quiet, so i hope the results, if it is AAI, will be minimal therapy. Does anyone know what the therapy i might expect if it is a minor case of AAI? Val, do you know what I should expect? what kind of drugs should I not allow? Arnica sounds like a good choice possibly? I know the vet will not have it, but I depending on the diagnosis, it may be an option. Suggestions??
I also want to thank you, Val, for sharing your story and love for BabyBear. What an inspiration, and hope for all of us.
I hope you read this because i am not sure how to make sure you see this. I am glad i will get something to help my baby and find out what is going on. Her name is Gabbie, short for Gabrial.
