Our surgeon said neck brace does NO HELP for fusion. Cast must go behind shoulders down to lower back. This is last comment on thread. I keep repeating myself. And this whole story is haunting me! So good luck to Roriee if the vet appt occurs today. And God bless all of you for helping this puppy. May roriee soon have relief. And please on YT always remember Ellies yorkie journey blog for AAI diagnosis and treatment. I will keep it updated for conservative treatment and for surgery if ever necessary. THERE ARE GOOD STORIES OUT THERE ABOUT AAI TOO...and we hope Roriee can join in on the good stories. |
And Thank you also as it must be painful for you to revisit the details of the early diagnostics of your pups which I'm sure dredge up all the emotions you were feeling during that time too. I am sending you and yours prayers for complete healing for those babies and strength for yourself for those times when a little extra could help.... Take care...
