mal-positioning with the atlus (sp?) so it is higher up than AAI, would have needed an MRI to diagnose
i don't know what all this means. i have an appt. at 3:30pm with him, i want him to show me the x-rays and explain to me. what happened to my baby?
does anyone know what all this means? please tell me. what questions should i ask the vet. i want davinci back. |
(From a site) - occipital dysplasia: an incomplete ossification of the supraoccipital bone, causing a widening of the foramen magnum. The more brachycephalic is the shape of the dog's skull, the more likely there will be occipital dysplasia. (I'm still searching for you...)
Does anyone have a
medscape acc't? This is an article on a toy poodle who had occ. dysp. and hydrocph - but I can't get to it.
