My girl did live a good long time with this condition and remained the same till about a month before she passed. So there is deff hope for Bella but I think the rite meds is what made Sassy live as long as she did. And the cost of foods is out of line here too. I paid $80.00 for 30 lbs of HD that didn't do the trick. that was 2 yrs ago and it's gone up since then. Not sure what they do at UC Davis but the only thing they did to Sassy was sedate her for the neuro and take the picks, not too hard to do on a sedated dog and he was rite there the whole time making sure they were taking pic from the rite angles. He had them look at the MRI to see if they would catch it but they didn't. I first heard about Chiari in humans about 9 yrs ago on a TV special and it was said that very few neuros know what to look for . And even fewer know how to surgically correct it. That is why I chose the teaching school because I think they are most up to date on things and it all worked out. However I am neurotic and did tell them I wanted the neuro to do the spinal tap. They will do what you want because you are paying the bill. Even when the Dr does everything the students still learn by watching. |
