Meatball.jpg
Meatball15 viewsMeatball, 7, had his initial neck issue in November 2022. Our vet made it seem like our only option was surgery and we felt so helpless. I found Dodgerslist and learned so much about his condition. After 8 weeks of crate rest and a weight loss diet, Meatball is 100% pain free and on the road to recovery. Cant thank the team enough.

Rio37 viewsBefore this we knew nothing of IVDD. Fast forward 7 weeks later, after spinal surgery and a very difficult several weeks, Rio is proof that dogs can live a very happy and healthy life full of joy. She is walking well using all legs and her progress seems to be getting better rapidly in the last week or two. While she was stage 5 and the vet gave us a 50/50% change of any sort of recovery, now she may make a full recovery. Thank you for all your support it was very helpful when things were toughMar 20, 2022

185 viewsBubo is my 10-year-old chihuahua who just presented with signs of disc disease on Thursday, 7/16/2015. I took her to my vet, & he gave her a steroid shot [Vetalog/Triamcinolone acetonide]. I was referred to this sight after my initial vet visit & took her back in for x-rays on Friday. The x-rays showed diminished space between discs 13 & 14 in the middle of her back, and she was diagnosed with disc disease. I put her on strict crate rest that evening.Aug 29, 2015
