Hi Tania,

That's great you have an orthotist you work with. I wish we could recruit more of them to the canine world! Such a great partnership.

Just wondering if this neuritis is being treated at a medical level to help manage teh inflammation. Any DVM thoughts out there on this?

Thanks Jeannie for your input, actually the dog just got orthotics this week, (i have an orthotist that works with me). the owner said she can now stand to urinate, when i see her this week i will definitely do postural rehab with the braces, as you say..it will give me additional 'hands'. Wasn't hinking of E-stim yet so will stay away for a while longer. I am a big fan of post. rehab so will stick with that. I also want to know about the pathology of brachial Neuritis,is it something that happens then goes away like an FCE or is it ongoing inflammation?TaniaVT, CCRP, CAAP>
