On Monday  (7/15/19) at 12:30am Maggie May let out a yelp that changed her life.  She suddenly could not use her hind legs. She did not have any previous problems like this before. She is your average "happy go lucky" kinda girl. By 11am she lost full function in her front legs as well leaving her completely immobilized. Through it all she still has  high spirits and has actually been comforting mom. She has been accessed by a neurologist at UC Davis Veterinary teaching hospital. Treatment plan is an MRI to start with. The neurologist biggest suspicion is that she has hurt her disc in her neck (cervical spine c1 to c5) that has possibly caused the symptoms she is having. But again to confirm this the MRI must be done. Depending on what the MRI shows, Maggies next plan is surgery to hopefully get her back to her old self again.  She is actually a Carmichael native dog. She was dropped off at Reagor pet hospital as a puppy (appx 6 months and older) and was fostered by staff until she could find a home.  She grew on one of the techs and is home where she belongs! She still gets to see her friends at reagor all the time. She is only a little over 3 years old and has as full life ahead of her.  Thank you for your time and for listening to her story. Love Maggie May and her family. ______________________________________________ ******update****** as of Tue July 16th********* ______________________________________________ Maggie Mays MRI was performed at UC Davis today. Results did not show that her disc was affected. Unfortunately the second cervical vertebrae (2nd bone behind her head) may have never formed (congenital malformation) or could have been due to an accidental injury. This caused bruising on her spine and her symptoms. She is still going to be under close watch of UC Davis team for the next 1 to 2 days. She is going to be sent home with a neck brace for several weeks to see if this is enough. Drs. Want to see if her body can repair itself around the affected area. The brace however is still not a full guarantee. If she is not better or gets worse, the next step is surgery to repair the area in her neck. The neurologist mentioned that this is a more high risk surgery then the disc repair. We are at a stand still right now with everything and thank everyone for there donations, appreciation, love, and support. Only time will tell for Maggie Mays recovery. We love you all, Maggie May and family.
