RE: Cause of Death

The only clinical symptom preceding death was pain that seemed to originate from the cervical area. Presumptive cause of death is spinal cord compression. Due to the clinical signs of neck pain followed by peracute death, and radiological evidence of possible occipital dysplasia and malpositioning of C1 / Atlas, this cause seems probable. The radiographic images were also suggestive of hydrocephalus. Occipital dysplasia and spinal cord compression cannot be definitively diagnosed without MRI examination.
Have you been able to speak to Davinci's breeder? Perhaps she can help you get tests through her vet to give you the answers you are so desperate for.

My heart breaks for you, Yen. I pray you can find peace.
