The regular pain relief for it is gabapentin. My little rescue cavapoo has it and apparently it starts at around age 2...she was given up at 20 months. The meds are ridiculously pricey for 1 months suppy. I tried buying it online but my vet will only prescribe it month by month and will charge me £21 for the prescription anyway. It does seem to be working well at suppressing the worse of it but she has a malformed spine and no tail too so she has alot to deal with. I was informed that it's a breeding issue, whereby people want the cute little head but the brain swells. The back of their flat skull doesn't allow the cerebral fluid out. Humans suffer from it too.

Marion is an amazing owner. She clearly loves her animals.

Asked Scotty about the aftermath of this case. Toby lived happily and pain free till 14 years of age 🙏🏻

This just made my heart melt and cry soo many happy tears.

Very warm and honest episode. What a smart lady.

I actually did some research on syringomyelia, specifically in Cavaliers, for a college paper about health issues in pedigree dogs. The constant scratching is a dead giveaway for this condition. It's really good that Toby was able to get treatment and be more comfortable.

there’s a major difference between purebred and wellbred. those papers do not apply to wellbred/ethically bred dogs that have had proper titling and health testing. make sure to do proper research on ALL sides before making generalized statements about all “pedigree” dogs. :) and ethically bred pug/cavalier (that still fits the breed standard!) will always be less prone to health issues than an unpredictable shelter mix.

@@gemmawilson4606 it’s not condescending it’s a fact. Well bred dogs aren’t often used in studies. For example it’s not the same but find me one well bred pedigree on the TV for example. There are poorly bred pedigrees everywhere so people think this is the norm unfortunately. I’d be very interested to see any studies on the health of mixbreeds but unfortunately since you’re getting such an unpredictable dog in front of you it’ll vary so much. It’s definitely an interesting read. And don’t think I’m anti pedigree, I grew up with doodles and I think they’re amazing dogs. I just don’t agree with their breeding unfortunately

i know how Toby's owner feels they are your life and your world

Cavaliers are the sweetest dog possible. So sad how they suffer from a bunch of serious health issues with no cure.

I love how these vets get that they aren't just a dog or cat or whatever; they are family. We need their love as much as they need ours. I take joy in spoiling my dog. What makes her happy makes me happy. It takes a special person to be a good vet.

Violent scratching in a Cavalier is a dead giveaway for syringomyelia

Marion is lovely lady. Her toby boy, thankfully got help him disease. Thank you Dr. Scott, and another clinic💖🐶. Healthy dog, happy owner, Marion´s heart is gold💝.

When she said I feel quite relieved I actually was able to take a breath. Toby will have a wonderful life all thanks to the Angels on earth known as vets. God Bless You All.

My heart goes out to this lady.I am a cavalier lover,too.

This breaks my heart that animals suffer with this. As a human that has syringomyelia it is so painful and totally can wreak havoc on the body. I'm happy that vets are well versed as human Dr's aren't quite up to par in the human equivalent.

Geez - brought me to tears in the first few minutes!

I always love watching this show and seeing the recoveries as well as the heartaches. I'm always glad that these pets can have their good quality life, even more now that I've lost one of mine this year.

I'm only in 1 1/2 minutes and I'm already tearing up knowing what the outcome will be. So sad for this cute dog and the owner. I love how Scott is so caring and understanding. Hopefully she'll have some good time left to enjoy with Toby without too many issues.

That is what a responsible pet owner does. Keep them healthy and happy for as long as we can until the bad days start to out number the good days and then think of the animal's quality of life and NOT WHAT WE WANT. Hanging on to our animals because we want them to be with us even when they are in pain, can't go to the bathroom on their own, can't move, can't eat or drink is no life for them. That is just selfishness on our part.

We can't give up on our animals.

Dr Holger, what a lovely lovely man!

Scott is such a compassionate vet ❤️❤️

I'm glad your his mom

Marion is a wonderful person to have such love for Toby. Amazing what skilled veterinarians can do. Thank God for those vets that did a miracle. Hope Marion and Toby can now be at peace and enjoy life together. Wonderful.

Toby is a gorgeous Cavalier!!!!

I hope Toby and Marion get to spend a couple of year's more together just a beautiful little boy 🙏💔😢XX

Siringomielia absolutely isn't that rare "The incidence of Chari Malformation (CM) in the CKCS breed is an estimated 95% and current studies suggest that SM is present in more than 50% of dogs with CM with approximately 35% of affected dogs exhibiting clinical signs." "The prevalence of syringomyelia was 25 per cent in dogs aged 12 months, increasing to a peak of 70 per cent in dogs aged 72 months or more." It actually vety prevalent.

Living in California I am envious of the interaction with her vet. Most vets here have become profit driven. So sad.

What medicine do they generally prescribe for syringomyelia? Looks like she was using a dropper.

«Rare»? Cavaliers are prohibited to breed in many countries because of SM, it’s impossible to avoid its that common!

My 5 year old chihuahua has this plus chiari malformation causing hydrocephalus he’s had a shunt fitted in his brain to drain the fluid away it’s a dreadful condition and not easy treated just taking one day at a time it’s been 18 months since his diagnosis the shunt is helping a lot but he has a lot of paralysis in his legs due to the fluid pockets in his spinal cord

The vet has tried gabapentin (I think it’s called) and she was on quite a strong dose but it didn’t do a thing, the scratching didn’t decrease at all!

Hi, I don’t know if you’ve looked into it, but there’s an expert Clair Rusbridge who has a treatment flowchart to work through different options to see what works best for each pup. Personally, my pup ended up needing surgery, but he is doing fantastically now.

I have syringomyelia and it’s horrible to live with every day is a struggle

aww

God bless.

I have to stop doing this to myself. I feel like the worlds softest person. I can not stop sobbing, only two minutes in jesus.

If these vets charged an absolute insane fee to see my cat Mia, I would sell everything I own to pay this fee. Very impressed.

My cavalier after 11 years never showed any signs of that disease, prolly Cus she has a big head 😄, I love my cavalier

I have almost bought a male black and tan CKC pup from a breeder. Ive been communicating with the breeder and id really love to him but after doing a lit of research on the breed I just cannot risk this misery.

Syringomyelia in CKCS is about as rare as sleep apnoea in English Bulldogs. The episodes are great by whoever's making titles needs to stop making things up.

My Cavalier is diagnosed with syringomelia she is having a Gabapentin + Prednicare which is not really helping 🙁 She is only 3 years old 😢 I wonder what medication Tobey is on ? Please help.
