Our wonderful dog, Jack hurt a vertabe in his neck back on Dec. 1st. He needed to stay at the hospital over night so they could relieve his pain. When I took him into the ER, he was screaming! It was so horrible to hear him in such pain. The doctor called me the next day to pick him up. Keep him on painkillers, steroids and a calming pill and most importantly to keep him quiet. No bed, no couch, running and etc. We did all that with great results, so we started reducing the meds and on the 20th, the pain came back, so back to the ER, we went. He's back on the steroids and painkillers, but if once he's off the pills and the pain returns, we'll have to do an MRI to see exactly what's wrong and then there's surgery on his back. Jack's a great dog. We think he's about 9. He's a rescue, so we're not sure but he's a happy, healthy boy. The doctor thinks he would do well even if he needs the surgery. So if you could keep good thoughts for him, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!
