It's been 7 days of antibiotic and still walks to the left a little. We did have the chiropractor come and do an adjustment since she can read an xray, and for a few days he walked straight, so next stop back to the second vet and see if he needs to sedate to make sure it's not a seed, and then check liver, neither one will give me a referrel to neuro yet, the first cause she wants to do lots of lab work, the second cause he dosen't think it's neuro. i want to thank everyone for the response i will keep looking for a reason for this as we love our little angel.  |
Please do not use Chiropractor till you figure out what's wrong for sure. If your baby has Chiari malformation using a Chiro is an absolute no no and can kill your dog. Chiari does not show in an x-ray Only in MRI. Talk to your Chiro about the possibility of Chiari and I guarantee she will not adjust him again till you have MRI. Tell her yorkies are prone to this malformation. I hope you have gotten it straightened out by now but if not do not take the chance with Chiro without MRI.
