I was going to wait and see what the muscle results are and then see if that can be pursued. I'm lost though, to be honest.
Furthermore, I haven't heard from them all day and am anxiously awaiting an update. |
Did they suggest a MRI??? I thought not. Anesthesia is indeed a concern with CT...I have been through that with pups. Almost lost one after cervical disc surgery because of his CT.
But....I am thinking that if they thought it was needed, they would suggest it no matter what. You have neuro vets examining her and also posting her information on list serve...hard for me to believe they would miss something THAT obvious...a need for MRI. Unless it is just the risk of anesthesia?
