> I am so sorry to hear about the lost of your little Peke!! I had my first Peke put to sleep when he was 15 years old because of the back problem. So I know how hard is it!!! I also have a friend of mine that have three Pekingese. The two Male also developed the back problem.
> I have two pekingese now. The male "Bagel" is 5 years old and the female "CoCo" is 9 years old. I don't allow them to walk up or down the stairs or play on the slippy floor.
> I'm always sad to hear the loss of a beloved pet. My 10 yr old cat died last Nov, and since then 2 Persian siblings and a male Peke have joined our family. Now, I'm concerned. Do you know if slipped disk(s) is common in Pekes?
