Hi,
I recently purchased a cavalier as the first dog I've ever owned. She's adorable and I completely love her! Unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with chiari, as well as several other significant conditions. We took her for an MRI after noticing strange behavior (scratching, shoving her head into the sofa, running her ears along the side of the sofa, biting her back leg). Recently, she started hopping a bit as she walks. She's only a puppy- 7 months now!
This board has been very helpful to me in learning about SM/chiari. I'm glad it exists!!
For now, she is on omeprazole and we just started gabapentin. I'm hoping it will help.
