| All makes sense with her saying the spine, but some of the language threw me thinking it was chiari. Actually there are other options for AAI besides surgery although I believe I would opt for surgery if it were my pup and the chances of success were good.

| Tena, I am so sorry to hear this. I'm hoping others with her condition chime in so you can get a better understanding of your options. This must be so hard for you. I'm sorry.

| I'm so sorry my words aren't clear and I know I must be confusing. I'm can hardly function...I'm so beside myself. We have opted for surgery, now it's getting the 2-surgeon consult set up and proceeding. Can anyone with experience with AAI offer suggestions on what kinds of questions I should be asking upfront. Has anyone had this surgery done and can tell me what to expect. It all sounds ok on paper so to speak, but then when you actually live it....what will it be like for my girl??

| Tena there are people on YT who have had pups with it and there is a yahoo group. YHR has had a couple of foster pups with it who have had successful surgery. I did not personally foster them. The one I have, like I said, cannot have surgery. I am with you...I would opt for surgery if there was a good chance of them fixing it. I will keep your Zhoie in my prayers.

| So sorry Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way. This sounds very similar to a disorder called Syringomyelia common to King Charles Cavaliers and other breeds. It has been seen in Yorkies also. You can check this out on some of their breeder's websites as well as clubs. I read somewhere when we were researching dog breeds that sometimes collars around their necks bother them as it irritates the area. Look for some support groups that are dealing with whatever the specialists decide it is. Research as much as you can, and I suggest you write down any questions you may have. As much as you can arm yourself with knowledge. I know when I have dealt with serious issues with my dogs it helps. At this point I know you are so worried...take care of yourself too. |
