Re: HERNIATED CERVICAL DISC - SECOND SURGERY POSSIBLY NEEDED

Re: HERNIATED CERVICAL DISC - SECOND SURGERY POSSIBLY NEEDED
Hello, My dog is a 12 year old beagle. I remember her last surgery and I would not subject her to that again. If you can afford to do it, I guess it is worth a try.

Re: Best Senior Dog Food?
I cook for my pet. I make her turkey loaf and she loves it.

Hello, My dog has had three episodes of ruptured disc and only one surgery. My dog is on valium so the muscle twitching has stopped. But you have to make sure the dosage is not too strong. It sounds like your dog needs rest. And I would talk to the vet about giving him valium. It just sounds like a ...
