SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
My beagle has a slipped disc in her neck. Vet advised 3 WEEKS confined to pen. I need to hear some success stories because I'm so afraid that my spunky 4-year old Sammie-girl won't be able to run or play again. I'm only on day three and I need some hope to keep me going strong.
A tip for others: I asked vet for some sedatives to make confinement easier when company comes over or whenever she needs it.

> > Please, any advise on helping your dog recover from a slipped disk would be very much appreciated. I'm not sure to what extent she should be walking around.

> > If anyone has a success story, please let me know.

> > Thanks.

> ---My 12 yr old female peke takes a cortizone shot then gets lots of rest. make sure she doesnt do stairs or furniture for a while. be careful lifting the dog and keep it as quiet as you can. she will walk when she is up to it, some put them in a crate for a few hours everyday to restrict movement. ask your vet about your particular case. thats about All I can tell you. Mitzi is doing Ok and she has had that in the past.---Brigitte
