 Falls Down on Stomach
Hi GUys,
I am beside myself when I chat about my 12 yr old little guy. He developed this thing where he would go down on his stomach and move his feet but couldn't get up. This lasted 2-3 secs. I took him for a MRI and we found out that he has 2 slip discs.One in his back and one in his neck. The neck one is causing pressure on his spinal cord which causes the disruption of fluid to the cord which causes this event. I don't know what we should do yet....surgery? it is worth it. Would he recover fully at 12? Would he be back to normal? Would he last the surgery? we are hertbroken and are exploring our options . What is good for him as well...
I probably wil opt for surgeyr because we love him!!!
HAs anyomne experienced this? Does anyone know the life expectancy of yorkies. We want to help him awnd this is tearing us up.
thanks,
