| goes down on belly well guys. he has 3 slip discs. one in pelvis,neck and the base of his brainthat is causing the pressure on the spinal cord Am going to neurosurgeon on tues pm to discuss options. he has been on meds(prednisone) and has been perfect so we shall see. if i can help him without surgery i think we will. I don't think having surgery on the brain is the route we should take especially if they can't tell me 100% that it is the neck and not the base of the brain where it is effecting him. Any thoughts? stu Last edited by stu; 10-01-2007 at 11:15 AM. Reason: spelling |

| Hey Stu, how has your little guy been for ailments in the past. Toby had a operation a few years ago and he had no problems. I think he'll be ok. We'll be praying for him! Please keep up updated. Oh ya about the Prednisone, Toby has been on it since he was 8 and he's almost 16 now. |

| He'll be fine. These little guys are tough as nails. Don't worry about the Prednisone. I think it affects dogs different than humans. Derek |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | just read about your little guy. so sorry to hear that he has CMs. Which doctor are you taking him to and at what clinic? I see you're from the Island. We have a couple people in the area that have had to go to specialists for surgery and i was wondering if your going to the same place. Good luck with your babies surgery tomorrow. i hope everything turns out ok.

| What does your vet say about anesthesia for him? My vet won't even do a dental on twelve year old Lady anymore, but Lady has a lot of health issues. If surgery isn't an option, I'd check into accupuncture. Also, I know people two have gotten carts for dogs with back problems that have worked really well. It's so tough when they get old, isn't it? |
