My 5 Year Old Basset Hound And Lab Mix Has A Herniated Disc. The Vet…

My 5 year old basset hound and lab mix has a herniated disc. The vet gave her muscle relaxer and pain meds, but now she can’t move her back legs. We have restricted her to a crate so she can rest, we can’t afford surgery. Is there hope that she will get better with meds and crate rest or should I start preparing for the worst?

    Hello,
    I don’t know enough about your dog or the time frame to offer much advice. I do have a lot of helpful tips and advice on this disease via my blog. Kmdvm.blogspot.com and YouTube channel. Search IVDD and hank. I think that every piece of any kind of question is all there. In general I tell people to keep in close contact with their vet. Seek an exam with a neurologist and give these dogs at least three weeks to see if they improve. Good luck.

    Foil does not digest it is not a food. Eating that much doesn’t sound good.
    These people may be able to answer your question because the foil is toxic

I Have A 10 Year Old Walker Coon Hound And He Is Acting Very Strange…

I have a 10 year old walker coon hound and he is acting very strange. He wanted in and out of the house all day, very dry nose and seems to be constipated even though he had an accident earlier in the house. What should I do to help him?
