| We didn't get home until 8:00 pm and I was so upset I couldn't speak, I'm sorry. Been up since 3:00 am but I can update you all now. It's bad..the MRI showed Zhoie's upper tip of her spine is pushing into her lower brainstem, (I don't know the medical terms) They can do surgery, about 80% success rate, 20% she dies on the table. They are scheduling a consult with the 2 spine/brain surgeons that perform the surgery together. I'm so lost, I know I need a list of questions to ask, but I have no idea what. Does anyone have experience or know of success cases with this particular surgery?

| Oh Tena I was so praying it was nothing serious. I can imagine how torn up you are, because I am in tears for Zhoie right now. I hope LJ or someone who has experience comes on soon to maybe put some of your fears to rest. YT was down for repairs from about 7pm until the wee hours of the morning. Hopefully someone will be on soon. I am praying really hard for Zhoie and for you.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I'm so sorry to hear this. I know nothing about this surgery. Is this the only treatment option for Zhoie? Hugs to you, you both are in my prayers.

| Sounds like chiari. Is that what they said? I was a bit fearful it might be that, but I don't like to alarm people. I have a pup with chiari...he is one of my foster pups. Sadly, his case is also complicated by other problems and he is not a candidate for surgery. It sounds like your sweet Zhoie could do well with surgery. I am not sure where you went for the MRI, but I would be looking for a very large and well known place to do the surgery. If it is chiari, surgery is the only way to repair it. I am so sorry ... I know how frightening this must be for you. I will keep Zhoie and you in my thoughts and prayers.

| Tena, find out for sure what the diagnosis is so that people know what they are talking about. There may be people who have had experiences with the surgery for the condition that Zhoie has.
