I would definitely talk it over with the vet and then get a referral from him for a specialist to speak with. I would encourage you to seek a specialist who is board certified and versed in treating smaller dogs. LP surgery is hard as it is on the dog, adding in an issue of ct is a whole other issue.
My boy had lp surgery and ct was not an issue for us, Thankfully. I discussed the lp surgery with both my vet and surgeon and made my decision based on what I got from the surgeon in terms of confidence in his abilities. I would highly recommend discussing it with a couple of vets/surgeons until you can feel you have all the necessary information to make an informative, confident decision. Best of luck to you in with this and your little one gets the help he needs. |
