Just go by what the neuro says. It would have been helpful if your vet did the xray (not sure why they couldn't as I have never heard of that!) and also if they would have told you why a neuro was needed (what diagnoses did they think Zhoie might need ruled out by the neuro.

I have a foster, Sammy, who has AAI, Chiari and a whole host of neurological issues. His first diagnosis of AAI came from a routine xray at my regular vet. They were actually looking at his stomach!!! He also did have obvious neuro signs in his gait...but he was presenting with a hernia that took precedence as his bladder had slipped into it. Many times with these small pups, you see most of the body...and AAI is easily seen on an xray. He was then referred to a neurologist and the MRI was done. I have had almost every one of my pups xrayed at one time or another...mine and fosters and have never had a vet tell me that a certain position was needed and she could not do it. I would think that IF a certain position was needed, then the vet must have a suspicion of what he/she is looking for. I would not go to a neurologist until the vet told me WHY I was going. That's just me.

| To clarify what I am trying to get across: I would not want to spend money with a specialist unless I knew exactly why I was going. If it is not neuro, then what? Another specialist? I just think you need to call your vet and ask why the referral.

| Has ruled out related to old shouder injury. Legs, head and neck has full range of motion, no gait or signs of anything like that. Where the referrel in in Leesbug VA, they have neuro, othro etc in house. From what I understand, she will get her full examine, then I will talk with doc on what he finds and what tests, MRI etc will be needed. Vet talked with my in length on possible causes, from minor to worst, but she also said she didn't see signs with her range of motion. She would do an x-ray, my way of thinking is...we did a week of Metacam, I prefer going on now to a specialist. Thank goodness we are going in the morning, wish we were there today. Oh, and I sure why neuro is because the issue has be isolated to the neck area. When we are there, if it turns out to be ortho, then they are in house too.

| Hoping all goes well tomorrow with Zhoie....so sorry to hear that she was in pain. It's so hard when they are hurting. Hopefully the specialist will figure out what is going on and get her on the road to recovery. Prayers headed your way.

| Thank you everyone...you words and concern mean so much to us. I will let everyone know what we found out after our vist tomorrow. I'm sure it will be later in the evening, it's about 1.5 hrs one way.
