There a good article about Wobblers here, have had 2 Danes who came through rescue with it, unfortunatley there were both quite bad and PTS.

Here is an article from the Bionic Vet - Noel Fitzpatrick.. He is someone who i'd highly recommend and i'd not look to go anywhere else if I had a pet who needed treatment in the Orthopaedic area.

Thank you both for your replies, an added problem is when they tried to put Harry under at the vet school to investigate he showed major heart difficulties do they had to bring him straight back round so dont know if they are going to be able to do an MRI scan at all, but thank you for the info I will have a good read of it

I think you'd need to contact Fitzpatrick and ask their advice on this over the phone. They should be able to assist you and they have been brilliant for me and many others. Not heard one bad word against the practice, not cheap, but then for me only the best is good enough for my dogs...

Hope Harry is ok xx

yes unfortunately....my girl was diagnosed at 6 months by MRI, we treated with steroids for 6 months and then sadly pts at the tender age of 13 months....a very tough time and i really hope you have a better outcome. x
