I think he was more focused on doing the surgery right away, than giving usd the time to analize our options. This is 60% not 100% separation, and he hasn't sent us his report as of yet.

I don't know but something doesn't feel right!

He charges $180 per hour for consultation, and he didn't send her home with some sort of brace to support her neck??? We were supposed to receive an alternate pain medication prescription emailed, and up to this writting we haven't received it.

I've folded a tower to support her neck when she's in my arms, I would have expected him to suggest a support or something? Am I being unreasonable???

Pls pray that I can get an appointment tomorrow with UC Davis, I really don't want to waste any time!

Princess Chloe sends you kisses/licks, and I send you my gratitude for your concern. Naomi
I will pray that you get an appt . Maybe if you call 1st thing in the A.M. they can get you in tomorrow or wed. I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. I know others have had casts on their pups and maybe that's what the Dr was talking about ? IDK but I'm with you that I would NOT be putting a cone collar or anything else on her neck that was not done by a specialist. Also wanted to add that she could be having a vision problem from fluid build up in her brain from the AAI and if this is what is going on it should resolve once her neck is fixed. I am pleased to hear you are calling UC Davis , I am wondering what kind of a neurologist doesn't have the means to do an MRI ?
