 Degenerative Disc Disease - Experiences?
Hi everyone,
My name is Joanne and I am from the Western New York (Buffalo) area. My beloved YorkiePoo Mocha just turned 6 and recently she became very lethargic, stiff, and would yelp from time to time. She had put a little weight on over the last year or so, but still quite playful and active. She had a habit of chasing people around and jumping on and off furniture. We just had to take her in and hospitalize her because as it turns out she has a genenerative cervical disc (between position 3 and 4) which was causing her much pain, she had alot of trouble moving her head, twitch her head and shake. Her lifestyle needless to say will change greatly and was told we have to make sure she doesnt overdo things. Anyone else have experiences with this or advice? She has had a few laser treatments and now will be on Previcox and Muscle Relaxants as needed.
