| I'm sorry to hear that - it's so nerve-wracking to know there's something wrong but not have a definitive answer. I'll be thinking of you and Blaze... |

So sorry to read that Blaze still not 100%!!
I second dobermansrule thought. Our vet(s) send out xrays to be read by a radiologist, especially when dx is inconclusive.
Sending good thoughts for you and Blaze! | |

nor ours - they send the xrays (digitaL and film) off to a specialty practice that reads them as well. | |

| Blaze had a "somewhat" comfortable night. She would sleep for 3 hour stretches, need to pee, then come back in and take about 20 minutes to get comfortable than sleep another 3 hours. I have her back in Rimadyl as of this morning and we are again calling her Vet.
My greatest concern -- her coordination is now "off." And it now looks like the issues are rear leg driven again, versus front leg. I am at such a loss...

| If she's checking out ok medically, and xrays do not show anything definitive, have you considered a chiro adjustment? | |

| More Status:
Blaze's Vet has called and we gave him the added input of her coordination being off. He has contacted Dr. Peter Maguire at Berkeley Cat and Dog to review Blaze's case. He is a Neurologist with extensive background in Wobblers. I will be taking her existing x-rays in and we'll see what they say.
Our appointment is for Tuesday at 11:00 AM.
It's gonna be a very long weekend.
