b. The presence of hypotension associated with a cervical spine injury following blunt trauma would suggest invariably the presence of blood loss in association with the neurologic injury
c. Cervical spine malalignment can almost always be reduced by skeletal traction

Jack when I got the email the first night - unable to urinate, dragging back legs, hiding with no known injury at that point I immediately had the girl give him Calcium. She is a vet tech and the next morning had X-RAYS done and confirmed a spinal cord injury. Is there a way that I can email you all the info? All I have at the moment is my iPhone to work with my son downloaded a very bad virus to my laptop - dont know if its salvageable. I have a copy of the X-ray, some info on the minimal treatment he received after, and what Im working with now.
And please dont apologize, we all have stuff going on - how did your squirrel that was attacked by the cat do?
