My long-haired doxie named Joey had an IVDD episode and had emergency surgery for a herniated disc two years ago when he was 6 yr old. Joey has days when it seems like he moves slower than usual, but he is now able to wobbly walk and wobbly run!!! Again, it has been two years since Joey had his surgery and he continues to improve even if it is just "baby steps." For the first time just this month, he was able to run and retrieve a toy before his brother Sam gets it first! So when the vet tells us that it may be a long process of healing, please be patient...Joey is now an 8 yr. old happy, active boy!  |
