Hi

My dog is in the emergeny hospital in critical condition. Friday night he ran into something and Saturday morning he had a seizure and began losing his mobility. He has the common disk disease but all four of his legs are paralyzed. He's alert and aware of his surroundings but unable to do anything else. The Dr told us he has a 25-50 % chance of survival. My options are to go through with the surgery and risk him being paralyzed forever or possibly dying under anaesthesia (he's underweight) or to put him to sleep. He has that small chance of survival if all goes well with the surgery and getting better. I want to know if there's anyone out there went through with the spinal surgery and what happened. We don't know what to do. Is there a chance for him? Please someone help.
