I am new at this, my longhaired dachshund was just diagnosed with a dilated spinal cord this week (we have yet to do the MRI). I am planning to take her to Dr. Harrington this time, so I am glad to see him mentioned and that it sounds as though he is pretty good with this kind of thing. Did you really like him? I hear as of last Friday he has moved up to the Lynnwood area (unfortunately). I wish you the best with Jack, I had never heard of this horrible thing before and I am pretty devastated at the news as I'm sure you all were when you first heard it. I still don't know much about it and am wondering if I'll ever see my little girl like she was a week ago, again! Happy and no pain...
