thank you everyone, i just cannot think about this right now, i really want davinci back. the vet is still at the conference, but left a message for me and said the specialist looked at the x-rays and doesn't think it was AAI, but think it was hydrocephalous and the malfomation of the back of the skull (occipital dysplasia) mal-positioning with the atlus (sp?) so it is higher up than AAI, would have needed an MRI to diagnose i don't know what all this means. i have an appt. at 3:30pm with him, i want him to show me the x-rays and explain to me. what happened to my baby? does anyone know what all this means? please tell me. what questions should i ask the vet. i want davinci back. |

Does anyone have a medscape acc't? This is an article on a toy poodle who had occ. dysp. and hydrocph - but I can't get to it. |
occipital dysplasia: an incomplete ossification of the supraoccipital bone, causing a widening of the foramen magnum. The more brachycephalic is the shape of the dog's skull, the more likely there will be occipital dysplasia. So, to translate this a little: the foramen magnum is the big "hole" at the base of skull/occipital bone where the spine goes in/out. Above there ("supra") there was something incomplete in the bone formation ("dysplasia" (cells gone wrong)) and the "ossification" has to do w/ "making bone" (in a nutshell). Still searching... |
Neck ligament: cruciate ligament of atlas. That's the "atlas" thing he was talking about. Heart breaking for you :(. Anyone else, links? Yen is an info person, she will need to know answers. This ODysp info is limited :(. |
I am so very very sorry for your loss. |
I am so sorry to read about your loss of Davinci. We will keep you in our thoughts and pray for your healing. |
Oh my gosh, Yen.. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you; I know you love him so much. If you ever need anyone to talk to, just PM me. You were there for me awhile back, so I owe you one. :) |
A very wise man sent this to me after we lost Truman and it touched my heart all the way to my soul. It helped me and now I would like to share with you :fallen: |
I am so sorry to hear about Davinci. My heart and prayers go out to you in this tragic time. |
Words can't really express how sorry I am! I will keep you in my prayers! |
I'm so sorry for your loss Yen. I'm holding back tears, and I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. Please don't forget you have many many friends here on YT that really care about you. |
I am SO sorry for your loss... I am so sorry :( |
