How does it happen? Who knows? I had a neurosurgeon tell me once that a person can herniate a disc while watching TV. So much for trying to figure it out!
I would follow your vet's advice....if there is no improvement after, I am sure your vet will suggest a neurological consult. Most likely she will be fine after rest. I have had this happen with pups. One of my fosters had an issue like this during the past year...she was around 2 years of age. She was fine after anti inflammatory meds and crate rest. I personally would never do any type of treatment on a spine without a CTscan or MRI. There are too many things that don't show up on xrays. |
