Hello,
I lost my dear sweet baby Tigger to Atlantoaxial Instability (AAI or AAS)
Looking for other Fur-mom that have experience with AAI or AAS
to help us in our new support group, we are trying to build a support group for information and support.

We also welcome any congenital defects to our group.

This condition has a lot of similarities of other disorders,
so he went a long time before being diagnosed. The sooner the problem is discovered the better the chance of recovery. And can cause sudden death.
here are some of the symptoms..below.. my email if you have any questions.
juannell@msn.com I want to help other babies. I could not find much information when I need it so desperately, so I want to see that fur-moms have as much information as possible to help these very special babies.
symptoms sometimes seen:
Falling
Wobble like gate
Carry head down
arched back
neck pain
These are just a few, but if you see this in your baby, please question your vet about AAI.... An simple x-ray is all needed.
Sincerely,
Nell
Im the memory of my sweet little Tigger boy, You maybe gone, but you will live in my heart forever.
