Now I mention this, as maybe animal research is ahead, and this substance might be available for use in dogs.

Did the vet mention any kind of "brace" for Bailey. Either a neck brace or a combo neck-shoulder-thoracic brace?

Awh I see you are going to a specialist - great news.

I will continue to think positive thoughts for you and Bailey.
I have heard of stem cell therapy for arthritis in dogs.....my vet has a brochure on it from a local place.

I just found this link:
