"LETHARGIC YORKIE" thread - we FINALLY HAVE A DIAGNOSIS - BAD This is a follow up to my previous 2 "Lethargic Yorkie" threads. After 2 1/2 months, we have a diagnosis. We still believe she has the false pregnancy, which is another issue entirely. For anyone who has not seen my previous threads, my little Gucci has been extremely lethargic, tilting her head constantly, and cries out sometimes when you pick her up. We finally got referred to a neurologist and he determined she has AtlantoAxial instability. No wonder she was in so much pain...the doctor said most dogs in her condition usually can't even walk. Unfortunately, the neuro in Miami is so new, he doesn't have all the equipment yet to do the surgery and he is wonderful - I wish he could do it but she cannot wait to have it done. So it looks like we are headed up to Jacksonville for a neuro/specialist up there to do the surgery. Please pray for my little angel. She is the sweetest, most gentle, loving dog I have ever had and it breaks my heart seeing her like this and knowing what she will have to go through. Has anyone else gone through this surgery or know anything about it? I've heard that little dogs are much riskier to do - she is 4.2 lbs. |
Im so sorry. Prayers for your little one. |
I have never heard of that problem. I am wishing you and your little one success and hope the surgery takes care of her problem. Cherie |
I'm so sorry to hear about your baby. There are YT members who've been through this with their yorkies. Hopefully one of them will see your post and tell you about their experiences. Prayers for little Gucci. Bonny |
Unfortunately, we have had quite a few Yorkies with AAI on YT. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...ome-today.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...-my-puppy.html |
I'm sending good thoughts and prayers your way. |
I'm sorry to hear this. Prayers for little Angel to get past this strong healthy |
I am so sorry to hear about your little Gucci!! Sending prayers that she can get the surgery that she needs. :hands: |
My prayers are with you. Please keep us updated. |
So sorry to hear your little Gucci is not well. Sending prayers for strength and healing. |
Oh, I am so sorry to hear about Gucci. You're trying so hard to help her and I hope the Jax surgeon can help her. Gucci will be in my prayers. |
I am so sorry to hear this. Will keep your little Gucci in my prayers. Did you contact her breeder about this? I noted that you had been looking for a tiny female in the past and, while it does not matter now, many breeders who are breeding for small are not really reputable at all. ...I would sure as heck be letting this breeder know as this could be congenital. Just very depressing and I do hope all goes well with surgery. I am going to PM a member who had this surgery done on her female. Maybe she will have some advice for you. |
I am so sorry. I hope the surgery will be a success and Gucci can enjoy the rest of her life pain free. |
Sending prayers for your little Gucci. |
We have had members here with personal experience with AAI. Both MyBabe4Me (Val) and BleuBoyBarber (Vicki) had AAI pups. Bleu Boy was in a cast, Baby Bear had surgery. There have been others along the way who have lost their little ones. You may want to PM Val & Vicki and hear their experiences. At the very least, you will find much support among them! |
