 Intervertebral Disk Disease
Hello all,
I really need your help. I have a 2 year old peek-a-poo named Remy. Yesterday my fiance and I took him to the vet after we noticed that he was acting strange. He wasn't putting much weight on his back legs and was arching his back. Anyway, he just wasn't acting normal, so we carried him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with Intervertebral Disk Disease. He was given a steroid shot by the vet, and they sent us home with a muscle relaxor and an NSAID. He seems to be in way less pain today, but I am still worried about him. If he doesn't respond appropriately to this medicine, surgery is our next option. We are college students; therefore, the cost of surgery is a scary thought. Hopefully, he will respond to the medicine.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge about Intervertebral Disk Disease please help me out. I would really appreciate it! He is not just a dog to me; he is my baby. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much,
Chelsea
