Elton is getting MRI

[anniemac]

Congratulations to Elton. That is a real relief!

Yes and no. I still don't know what's wrong with him. He's acting VERY strange right now.

Hi Anne

I am happy to hear Elton does not have SM. However I feel your frustration to figure out what is going on. Perhaps they did miss some mild CM as you mentioned in one of your posts? When will you know the results of the spinal tap?
I will continue to be sending positive thoughts your way.

So glad to hear that Elton does not have SM! Sending lots of positive thoughts your way as you guys try to determine what is causing his discomfort.

Glad he does not have sm and fingers crossed you will know more about what is wrong with him soon xx

In what way? Glad about the SM - but it still leaves you in the dark!

It's probably from anesthesia. The MRI seemed to cause more distress which increased his symptoms.

This could be. One of our cavaliers had surgery last year and (we discovered much later) tried to lift his very heavy head (typical big-headed cavalier) while coming out of anesthesia and was so groggy that he could not keep it lifted and ended up slamming his head back down on the metal table, causing some internal damage that he only recently overcame.

Oh no that's terrible poor dog!

Radiologist report says Elton DOES have CM (mild) but I feel it is causing him discomfort.

Anne,
Can you be absolutely specific about what the symptoms he's showing?
Why do you feel it's the CM that's the source of the discomfort?
