 Three Bulging Discs
Hi,
My yorkie is a rescued yorkie who is very shy named Maggie. Everything has always scared her silly. Recently we moved from Indiana to Wisconsin and into an apartment with all kinds of noises she is not use to. This left her a nervous mess and although I have tried to reassure her she started a painful screaming bark. Immediately found a vet and took her in. He did a full blood work up and took x-rays and found she has 3 bulging discs, 2 in her neck and one mid back. Also the start of arthritis as she is about 9 years old.
He put her on rimadyl 25 mg, I give her a quarter tablet in the morning and another at night. Keeping her quite (crating her is not an option as it makes her crazy) but she is not moving to much anyway. We are on her 3rd week and although she is getting better, when she is startled (any odd noise) she jerks which causes her to bark in pain, although this is now a shorter duration then when we started 3 weeks ago with her medication I just hate it. All of this just scares me silly as I don't want to loose my little girl.
Anyway my question is has anyone gone through this and did you try chiropractic care?
Thanks for any input.
