J ust seen this post .So sorry about Emma.My late yorkie,Trixie Suffered with a slipped disc and I was told the same as you ,rest and painkillers.It took a few weeks to recover and always had a weak back.She would hurt it so easily.The arched back was the first sign for a visit to the vets for pain killer
Trixie never liked moving when her back hurt.I do hope this works out for you.I know how helpless you can feel whenn they are in pain.Get well Emma |
