This is the story of the journey towards healing for Zane. It is my personal account of the various treatments sought to bring a halt to the progression of Wobbler's Syndrome, more accurately- cervical vertebral instability- in my Great Dane ~ Zane.

Time for another roadtrip
Zane and I are all geared up for another roadtrip. Tomorrow we are heading to Raleigh to meet up with Dr. Clark of Veterinary Specialty Hospital of the Carolinas to talk about a TTA surgery to repair Zane's torn CCL. If all goes well, Zane will get this surgery in the afternoon. The TTA procedure uses titanium implants instead of the steel plates used in a TPLO. The procedures are quite different. The TTA offers a quicker recovery which is really important to getting Zane up and moving again. I'll post more about the procedure and add up some links soon. We will be spending the night and hopefully returning on Thursday afternoon.
