Princess Chloe's has AAI a congenital condition, she turns 8 months old tomorrow, we purchased her from a breeder when she was 5 months old, she is 3lbs and her bones are not fully developed.
The neuro vet. want to wait until they are fully developed. The next opening for surgery at UC Davis Medical Veterinary Teaching Hospital is on July 11, 2011 and the surgery will be performed by a qualified certified NeuroSurgeon at the Hospital not a student.
On March 10th she started crying out in pain and after Xrays and two neuro consultations it was discovered that she had the above condition.
They put her on Tramadol, I will never waste my money on this medication again, for small animals it is terrible and has a real bitter after taste which many small animals.
Even after putting in melted velveta cheese, peanut butter, wraped in small pieces of bread covered with whatever, the animal still detects the bitterness. Many people on this site have agreed that Tramadol is not for small animals.
Now she's on Butrenorphine which Princess Chloe is taking with no problem. It seems to be working so I'll just make sure to ask the vet. next month to do a blood test to check her liver and kidneys and place it all in God's hands.
Thanks for your replies!
