How is Sammy?

Ellie was diagnosed with IVDD three years ago. She has had many relapses because after crate rest .i have opted to let her be a dog (on a small scale) and not restrict all activity. We had one very close call this year where she dud end up with a neuro deficit. In a healthy dog surgery is usually an option if it gets bad enough.

Ellie takes one or all of:
Prednisone OR Metacam (usually pred)
Tramadol (massive dose)
Gabapentin
Methocarbamol

The Tramadol is swapped for a Bupi injection if indicated.
