Thanks for setting up this site Karlin! My name is Jen, I live in Minnesota with Abbey, my 3-yr old tri. Last week Abbey had a MRI that showed the skull...
It must be really frustrating, Jen. There are a number of dogs with just the malformation that have displayed symptoms and Clare Rusbridge touches on this in...
Hi all: As with CKCS-SM, this list is currently set to allow anyone to join, but the first post made by a member needs to OKd by a moderator. This is simply to...
It is frustrating, and I'm curious as to what Clare will think of our images. I'm emailing her today. I, too, have come across a few people in the same...
Yes - they certainly don't have this disease all figured out yet. I even heard of a Cav w/ syrinxes all down his spinal cord and NO MALFORMATION, showing...
Not that it is any consolation, but all these same questions are there for humans with SM, where the surgery often needs to be repeated. Maybe with the shorter...
I guess the thing to keep in mind is that these odd cases are rare exceptions Abbey is such a little odd ball, that totally makes sense! ;) ... surgery ... ...
... Hi Jen and Karlin I have a ruby boy, Beano,who was Mri'd clear of herniation and syrinxes and only has a very slight malformation. Claire graded him an A....
Hi, Hope this group works out! I am looking for some place to share and get info not argue and fight. Lately my Daisy, had surgery last Aug. for SM, has...
Hi Linda! Welcome to the group!! I'm sure you will find this a great place to get info, help, support, and answers. My Rory yawns frequently. He has SM...
Hi Linda My Emma had surgery last June. She was doing a lot of yawning before surgery and also a lot of swallowing and licking. It was suggested to me that...
Jen - Abbey doesn't have PSOM, right? I can't remember if yawning is one of her symptoms? No, she doesn't have PSOM and she doesn't yawn. She licks a lot, but ...
Hi Barbara, welcome to the group! Interesting about Beano, I knew there had to be more cases like Abbey's. I'm guessing Clare would grade her an A as well,...
Thanks for the info on excessive yawning from everyone. A few more questions, when a dog has an MRI for SM is that dog automatically checked for PSOM? Dr....
Thank you for the welcome Minneapoliscav :) Linda B. wrote: "when a dog has an MRI for SM is that dog automatically checked for PSOM?" I don't know what has...
Yawning was one of Trevor's early symptoms. His MRI shows an occipital bone malformation and some cerebellar herniation and mild brainstem kinking. He does not...
I don't believe that PSOM and SM/Chiari are causally related. PSOM is caused by the eustachian tubes not opening properly which leads to fluid/mucous build-up...
- Thanks for the welcome Jen. Yes it will be interesting to keep tabs on them.Beano was MRI'd by Geoff Skerritt but I sent the scans to Claire to help her...
- Hi Pat, Good to see you here. Always the voice of reason. I will be very interested to hear how your project is going. For the record neither of mine have...
I'm very interested in how many cavaliers are now on frusemide and the ways in which it seems to be helping. It reminds me that I really should pull something...
- I think they are trying to reduce the pressure too. A bit like we swallow to pop our ears when flying or being high up somewhere. Best Barbara Reese UK...
- Hi Karlin Yes Geoff Skerritt has long been in favour of frusamide. He also suggested that mine were put on it. They are on an extremely low dose so there is...
Abbey is on Frusemide, 10mg once a day.We noticed a difference initially--more energy, less scratching and face rubbing. Now she seems to have progressed in...
- Hi Karlin Beano was having abnormal panting episodes for no apparent reason and it was obvious there was some discomfort. Probably a headache. This has...
- I'm sorry to hear Abbey is progressing. Have you thought about increasing the frusamide ? 10mgs is very low. A friend of mine has just been advised to...
