Twig is my cavalier king charles spaniel. He is 3 years old, and yesterday he was diagnosed with SM through clinical symptoms. He started the scratching 2...
Hi and welcome to the group. :^) I am sorry to hear you are encountering these symptoms with Twig. First off, it is important to stress that Twig needs to see...
This is taking me ages to do -- there were TEN talks and all quite medical so process is slow in between a very busy month! I now have half the summaries done...
... Hi Kendall, Thanks for sharing these great photos. I have just joined the group and still don't know for sure if my boy has SM but if he does I will ...
Hi, I have just joined this group and thought I should introduce myself. I still don't know for sure if my 3 year old Cavalier has SM and thought I might learn...
Hi Dorothy: Welcome to the list and sorry that you have these concerns. The symptoms you describe, as your second vet noted, would be consistent with SM....
Hi Group, I know I have been quiet lately, sorry. Dr. Dewey contacted me. He is writing his paper on the mesh surgery. He would like as much post-operative...
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Carole and I do not have Cavaliers. SM has recently been diagnosed in my breed and although I have not had dogs...
Ho Carole: This is a fairly low volume list but you are very welcome to follow threads etc and ask any questions you like. There is also a sister list,...
Thanks Karlin, I'll also join the sister list. SM is new to my breed so I thought I'd follow all of the threads to try to educate myself. Carole ... threads...

Jaime, Yes, as a matter of fact I have several Brussels Griffons. I breed them. Last year we learned that SM is in our breed. Thankfully, I haven't had it...

Hello, I'm new to the group and one of my beautiful cavaliers has just been diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia. He has been MRI scanned and...
Hi Moira, and welcome to the list. I am sorry to hear about Ben and the frustration you have had in waiting to finally get an SM diagnosis. Two questions come...
Hi Moira Welcome to the list. My Emma started showing symptoms of SM two years ago in January 2005 at three years of age. We were referred to Clare Rusbridge...
karlin Thanks very much for your reply. The operation Chestergates is considering for Ben is the one where a shunt is put in, I hadn't realised that there is...
Hi Janine Thank you for your reply, when I first started reading your message it made me cry, I seem to have done a lot of that since Ben was diagnosed, but as...
Moira - So sorry that your Ben has been diagnosed with SM, but at least you now have a diagnosis and can move forward. My dog, Rory, has SM. He had the ...
Hi Moira Emma stayed in the veterinary hospital for about a week after her surgery. When we brought her home we were told to keep her as quiet and calm as...
I guess this is a good time for me to ask a question I have had for awhile. (BTW my little girl, Scarlett, is also on Neurontin, and yes she does feel much...
Lynn - From what I know having spoken to many neurologists, the progression is variable and unpredictable. Although I believe that dogs that begin to show ...
Thanks Kendall. At this point I'm not really thinking of surgery - like I said I think she is doing well overall on the Neurontin. I just like having the ...
Oh I'd say the peanut butter is your issue. A kong, even a small one, full of peanut butter is probably alone over her total needed calories for the day, as it...
Have been enjoying everyone's posts. I don't recall hearing of any affected dogs having their teeth cleaned or a spay/neuter. Were any special precautions...
MB - Rory was neutered about 3 months after his decompression surgery (which was performed by Dr. Harrington). I asked Dr. Harrington if there were any special...
Ok - we are doomed! I have "several" dogs and the only way I can get out of the house in the mornings is to drop "magic peanut butter kongs" from the sky. I...
