My dog has slipped discs and couldn't stand right now!
Hi all,
I am from Singapore. Today my dog was hit on the back by a rubber shoe after knocking into the shoe rack when coming back from her walk. This has caused her to lose control over both her hind legs. (She was diagnose with slipped discs more than a year ago) She has been panting for hours and having problem to sleep and rest. The vet says that the hind legs do not response when she examine them. She is hoping that it is just that the nerves are compressed by the inflammation at the spine where the slipped disc are. So if this is the case, she should regain control over her hind legs after the inflammation has subside. If not, she will suggest my girl to go for MRI scan to see which part of the slipped disc affected the nerves most and have an operation to have it corrected. As my dog has got multiple slipped disc over her back and neck area so its impossible to operate to correct all the affected part as this will do more bad than good. Its sad to admit that Singapore do not have any sophisticated Veterinary facilities that could provide better care for animals with special needs. I have brought my girl to the most reputable vet clinic available in Singapore and there isn't anything much they could do to relief my girl from the pain she is suffering now. I have requested for an IV Catheter to inserted on her front leg so that I could inject concentrated Vit C into her twice daily at home to speed up the recovery. The vet agreed that it is one of the best option but it is going to be expensive ..... What the hack.... I am so worried of my girl and is willing to do almost anything to help her heal and the vet did not tell me that this is one of the best options till I ask for it myself.... I am really glad to have such a nice vet who cares for the pocket of her patient's guardian..... May I ask if any other pet guardians here has a pet with the same problem? What else can I do to help my little girl? I heard swimming is good for her but with her current condition I doubt I can do that right now. Do any one has got as special remedy that will help the inflammation to subside faster? I have been giving my girl Homeopathy Remedy for spinal problem for past 1.5 years. it works for normal days but I guess the pain is too much this time. I would really appreciate any recommendation anyone could give me now but too bad that I can't bring my girl over to your country for treatments unless any of the famous vets who is specialist in this area in your country do visit Singapore on a regular basis. Thanks a lot. |
