Cavstar Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Gosh it has been so long since I have posted on this site. On fathers day our beloved 13yo girl CKCS Zara woke up screaming in pain and unable to put weight on her front paw. We rushed her to the emergency vet who did a thorough check up on her. She came to the conclusion that she has a slipped disc in her neck. Gave us anti inflammatories & pain killers and advised us to give her strict rest. She is in a tremendous amount of pain even with the painkillers & cries throughout the night whenever she moves. When I am at home all she wants is to be cuddled. Its heartbreaking. I'm off the our regular vet tomorrow to get more of her heart medication for her heart murmour & I'm going to ask for stronger pain killers but just wondering if anyone has any experience with a dog recovering from this at her age?

Dogsfevr Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Did they give muscle relaxants ?? The spasms often hurt the most . Rest ,physio ,heat packs/cold packs . Find a specialist rehab vet clinic or good dog physio/acupuncture person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
