I have never heard of Chiari, but have looked it up, it does sound very similiar to GME...and funny thing is Isabella constantly even before her diagnoses of GME would constantly scratch at the right side of her neck and shoulder blade area....I always thought her Micro chip was bothering her as it was just right under the skin and I could actually feel it....but her necropsy came back definite GME/NME. and Isabella never made sounds or acted like she was in pain while scratching but the treatment looks to be the same...
I am afraid i have to agree, this little girl has so much going on with her it may be best to let her go, i know it sounds terrible but having watched Isabella go thru the 3.5 months of treatments and how bad she got I do not believe I could ever do that to a little one again.....I realize now my love for her should have been stronger as to let her go.....but I just could not believe she could not be cured....
I also agree that Tanisha needs to spay and neuter her entire breeding program, there have been over the years many GREAT responsible Yorkie Breeders over the years who had to do the same thing.....and there are still many well known Yorkie breeders out there that are hiding flaws in their lines, and then people like you and me are the ones who suffer for it...
I have never liked what I saw from the first time I ever saw Tanisha's breeding practices and I told her so...but rather than try to educate herself she chose to be rude and insulting....and say she had no health issues in her lines that her dogs come from excellent Champion Lines?????? what she failed to recognize and follow up on is those champion lines she is spouting about are flawed....and they are from the lines way back that were spayed and neutered ....anyone can make up a fake pedigree.....
I just feel so bad for this little girl.....
Here is what I found on the Chiari
