When we got to MSU, they immediately thought (after 1 hour exam): 1. Tetany 2. Cushings (which her Ca was low) 3. Other toxins They never thought ortho issues. I would still like it checked if nothing else is found but the listserv is getting responses of some type of muscle disease. It's great b/c Dr. Beasley actually posted a video of her (not just pics with a written patho report).
Yeah, well unless you just want to toss at least $1,000 or more away........

I think I would listen to the vets! If they all are saying the same thing, I think I would go with them.

I am all about asking questions, but also about respecting the knowledge of specialists...and when that many are saying it....well, I for one would not be looking to throw my money away. Just me. Not to mention the added risk of anesthesia on a pup with CT for a test that probably is not going to show anything.
