116 viewsChrisD's Fritz went down January 2014. I tried to get him in some medical trials but no go. I decided to use crate rest. I had no choice. Luckily he didn't lose his bowel control. He leaked a bit and that's it. He was on crate rest for 6 months and I followed dodger list recommendations. He escaped out of his crate once and I wanted to be extra sure he was healed up so I added some extra time. At first he was on pain meds but I gradually weaned him off those. He hasn't had a relapse.

56 viewsThis is JenR's beloved Hercules and Xena! Hercules had his first IVDD incident when he was 6.5 yo. With crate rest, steroids and acupuncture, he walked for another 18 months! Then after a routine dental cleaning, we came home after dinner that evening and he couldn't walk. The vet sd that sometimes a dog can relax too much during anesthesia and his spinal column 'collapsed' at that weak spot. He didn't recover the 2nd time and lived out his life a happy, healthy, pain-free dog that I LOVED w/ all my heart!
