Hi Bobbie
I have a 4 year old dachsund that I have been told he has a slipped disc in neck. I was told by my orginal vet that he was trying to slip one. He was then put on prednisone. However he said dont crate him. Two days later we were out of town and he started yelping in the middle of the night. So loud that the police were called. We took him to a emergency vet cost us over 400 dollars. She was a young vet and said he had a slipped. I ask her to xra y she refused. putting him also on tramadol and robuxin for pain. He is still yelping in pain. Also the vet in Tampa said to crate him 6 to 8 weeks. Our vets said not to.
I took him back again and the vet put him on valium. Which I not given. I am very confused about what to do. I have also been research vet schools on slipped disc in the neck in dachsunds. And it says to give them 500 mgs of vit c twice daily for they rest of his life. And he should be back to normal. I am scared to give the valum after reading about people putting there pets on it and they woke up the morning and there pet never walked again. Can you help me with info on valium. I thought of only giving it to him in the evening. He seem to start out slow in morning. But then wals around the rest of the day. When the sun sets that is when he stars all his yelping and shaking. My vet also refused to do xray. He said he doesn't need that to diagnose. I am new on the computer and dont know how to post this for help. If you could tell me what to do to post this I would appreciate it
Thanks
