What treatment is there for degenerative disc in dogs? General Dog Discussions
Our almost 11 year old English Spring Spaniel was diagnosed with degenerative discs in her back. She had been limping and the vet took x-rays to be sure it wasn't her knee. He gave her a cortisone shot on Thurdsay and she was walking better. Then yesterday she chased a squirrel and jumped up and down around the tree and is limping again. The vet said to let her rest a couple days, which is hard to do with the damn squirrels in the yard. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help her? She is our baby and there is no way we want to put her down. She is using both her back legs, so it's not like she is paralized. It just hurts her to use her right hind leg.
