Hi Parka,
So sorry to learn about this--you have been through a lot. Bless you for the love and care you show your little one.
My late senior gal, Katy, did have spinal issues, but did not suffer the problems you have described. Also, I do not have experience with carprofen.
A search suggests there are veterinary teaching hospitals in Georgia, but I was not able to locate a search page that provided a list of these facilities. "
Vet Specialists" has a searchable database that allow you to pull up board certified vets by specialty.
Prayers. --KatysMom
