Hey guys,
Last Wednesday my 5 yo french bulldog, Lou started acting funny. I took him to the vet and they did test but he seemed ok. Sent us home with some pain meds.
I woke up the next morning and Lou was having trouble standing. I rushed him to the only neuro pet hospital in town and then confirmed they thought he had slipped disk. We went immediately to surgery but while we were doing mri and getting ready he lost complete control of his back legs and possibly deep pain (they tested at evaluation and he had it).
After surgery, he hasn't had any deep pain, back legs control and bladder/bowel control. We have him home now and he is resting but it's a 24/7 job. Constant bladder/bowel leaking and clean up constantly.
We took of work for the next week but we are losing our minds. We have pee pads (that we are running through fast), baby wipes, comfy bedding and Lou is on anti anxiety meds.
How do you guys do it? Any encouragement is helpful!
