| Bailey Please ask your vet to check in the xray for AAI (AtlantoAxial Instability) Sp. Kole was my 18 month old who had the same symptoms. I blamed his injury on another of my dogs when they got rough with each other. The vet xrayed his back only since he was just sure it was his back. Kept him in a playpen for a week. Went back twice that week for paid meds and recheck because he was not getting better. Screamed each time I tried to pick him up and yet he sat in the playpen and whined for me to hold him. Finally took him to Auburn Vet. Teaching Hospital. We took him in on an IV and they did MRI and found the AAI problem but by this time his system was shutting down. We had to give him up. It was awful. Most vets know nothing about the AAI. I hope it is a pinched nerve and the swelling will go down and he will be fine. But I wish someone had told me about the AAI problem since I had never heard of it. Be persistent with your vet. If I had I might still have my little Koleman. Good luck and let us know what you find out. Julia

I am sooooo sorry for your loss. I know how much it must hurt. The vet group I go to have done AAI surgerys, in fact a friend of mine who have doxie had to have one of his girls in surgery and this vet saved her. I will question him when I go in to day.. and I thank you all for your advice.

| Up date on Bailey Well... it has been a week!! Bailey had his x ray and it shows 4 calcified disks. Two are in his neck or near. The vet said to keep him quite and on the meds and take him to a specialist for an second opnion. He said he could heal on his on... but .. I asked him what are the "possible" outcomes. If one of the disk ruptures Bailey would be parlized. I am not sure how I am going to pay for a $3,000.oo surgery but I will!! I can not let my sweet Bailey go without a fight!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | LiL Sis/Shinja; check out stem cell repair; see if it is appicable to discal problems. There is also a brand new procedure just now in clinical trials (with humans), it is an injectable substance that can re hydrate, repair the discs. The researcher is hoping for FDA approval in 2015. Now I mention this, as maybe animal research is ahead, and this substance might be available for use in dogs. Did the vet mention any kind of "brace" for Bailey. Either a neck brace or a combo neck-shoulder-thoracic brace? Awh I see you are going to a specialist - great news. I will continue to think positive thoughts for you and Bailey.

The vet did not say anything about a brace... he just said to limit his activity. That is hard because Bailey doesn't understand. In fact the vet did not act as if it was as serious that I feel it is.
