I only know the neuro surgeon at NCSU that did Zhoie's AAI surgery, explained they do need mild sedation to do the radiographs because they like to put their heads in certain positions and have them on their belly and side for different views. I can see why it would need done, it would be impossible to get a pup to lay perfectly still especially in various positions.
they want.
I'm so glad you are moving forward with having the xray done, at the very least it will rule out AAI on be such a relief and comfort to know.
We are actually leaving Sun. 17th to travel back to NCSU for Zhoie to have a dental done in their dentistry unit and then a neuro follow up in the afternoon.
Like you, I'm worried to have her sedated, but it's the nature of the beast and needs to be done. Just think, if I didn't keep up with her dental cleanings and then her other organs would get effected down the road, I couldn't live with that neglect.
Send prayers for my girl that all will go well.
Please keep us posted on how your girl is doing. Continuing prayers for improvement and nothing serious is found in her xray.
