I would go to a vet school and let them do a work up on her. I have a foster who has AAI along with multiple other neurological issues and his is not operable. He is older and has managed for many, many years.

AAI is a surgical condition BUT not always. It depends on the pup and what else is going on. You would need a specialist to make that call. I like the vet school clinics because they look at the whole dog and they have the best "toys" (diagnostic tools) in most cases.

I took Sammy (my foster) to Texas A&M and after all of the testing, they recommended no surgery since he had too many things and was way too high risk.

I will keep you and your Cassie in my thoughts and prayers.
