Miss B Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 On Monday my 4-year-old Cav boy had an MRI scan and was diagnosed with a Chiari-Like Malformation. I'm interested to hear from anyone else who has owned a dog with this condition. The plan at this stage is medical management, which (from my understanding) involves a bit of trial and error with regard to drug types and dosages. I'm wondering when we can expect to see an improvement in his symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvs Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 miss B I am sorry that your boy has been diagnosed. First step would be to tell his breeder. this website would be able to give you a place to start Syringomyelia there is also a yahoo group for SM/Chari Malformation this is a list of the groups yahoo (Hope is works) Join one of the groups and see if they can help you with the answers that you are looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss B Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks cvs, I will check out those links you posted. Unfortunately Monty came from a BYB who we are no longer in contact with. I have her old email address from ~5 years ago, do you think I should still try and get in touch with her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
