Cora puppy update from BluePearl Tampa. I love that place! The neurologist Dr. Kumara looked at her and did a physical exam recheck upstairs in the clinic, then came back to discuss with me. Since Cora has progressed so well and continues to grow, and her previous issues are no worse, or have resolved, he suggested waiting awhile before doing a full surgical type workup on her or the MRI. She has started a new back leg involuntary behavior, so he thinks it would be better for us to wait a little longer and see how much more she grows in length. His concern is as she grows her spinal cord may not grow longer with her and may become tethered. Google Tethered cord. Could be shell be like she is now forever, get worse, or continue to improve. Ill check in with a call every 2 weeks to let him know how she is. No charge today for the recheck! What a fantastic doctor! Thanks for good thoughts and prayers!
