Went prepared with all the print outs but didn't need them as she (my vet) knew all about it and seemed quite clued up. Anyway, told her about my concerns, scratching on and off the lead mainly, shaking her head and she checked her over, her ears are clean, no mites/fleas, no sign of skin irritation. She twisted her neck to each side and upwards and was dreading her yelping (she hasn't done this anyway) but she didn't. The vet took some bloods and will call me tomorrow with the results but doesn't anticipate them showing anything up.
She then said if the bloods are clear she will refer us to a neurologist towe discuss it further and get Star MRI'd. She says as we're insured it's best to get it checked out now as if she has got it at least we would know what we were dealing with. She also said as she does scratch at her neck on and off the lead, although it may not be what she considers excessive it's best to check it as it is a prevelant condition in this breed.
:xfngr: it goes well should we go to a neurologist and I feel a bit better about it all now.
