Shellie, ladyjane has mentioned one of her little guys who has multiple issues & 2 of the things he has are AAI & Chiari both of these are life threatening & should never be treated by anyone who is not specialized in treating them so do as she says & go to the specialists she recommends. I know that you have a very good relationship with your holistic vet but some things are simply best left to a specialist. My Sassy had Chiari & I would NEVER let a Chiro touch her neck. With serious neck issues such as AAI & Chiari it can have a domino affect to the spine & it's fine to let a Chiro adjust the spine & it can help relieve some of the stress on the neck but NEVER let them touch her neck. And Shellie, I have had every dog & cat I have rescued to a Chiropractor & I know what a Chiro can & can't treat & what they should & should NOT treat & I can tell you that ALL of the Chiros I have used for my rescues would Never touch the neck of an AAI or Chiari pup & IF you ever went to one who wanted to adjust the neck of an AAI or Chiari pup you need to tell them NO !!!! & walk out with your pup & Never go back. I must say that I too am shocked that your vets have never sent you to a specialist with your baby given her symptoms & IMO is inexcusable. |
