- Опубліковано 1 гру 2019
- IVDD can be described as a slipped disk, ruptured disk, or bulging disk, depending on the type of damage that occurs. If a disk swells or ruptures, it may strike or compress the spinal cord, affecting an animal’s ability to walk.

If only I could afford $8000-9000 surgery with Dr Wang 😔 prices are so unfair, that means only rich people can get their dog back to normal life. Sad truth of life
This is so sad. I’m crying. I’m so scared my Frenchie may have this disease.
Is that how much it is ? Omg I can’t afford that but I won’t I refuse to put my dog to sleep ! Can someone help us , my Bella is only 3 needs sx and I don’t have that kind of money
@@normavelasquez8988 How is your dog now?
@Axolotl gamer exactly
@Axolotl gamer exactly 😣 we had to put our dog to sleep because we could not afford it 😭
They provide you with loan options though, like carecredit
my dog was diagnosed with this and the vet had recommended to put him down bc he was suffering, while we decided I purchased doggy advil from petco, and he started walking better and stopped screaming and now he’s completely healthy since we’ve been giving him those pills
What was the exact name of the Advil?? How long was it until the drug was effective for your dog to get better? Had he been having episodes of pain ever since you’ve given him the medication?
@@keniciaj i don’t remember exactly but it was around 11$ and advil was in the name, we started giving him it with peanut butter for every 4 hours, then gradually twice a day, and it only went on for about 3 months with just one bottle, now he is completely fine, we still are cautious, but he is full of energy now. we saved a ton of money and a life. the vet is such a scam :(
@@keniciaj also we don’t mean to self diagnose our dog but he wasn’t fully paralyzed, he would just have episodes of screaming and muscle spasms where he couldn’t walk. we would also place a heating pad on the areas that were twitching and it helped his pain a lot. we think that he was either having muscle spasms or something else, but he was never fully paralyzed therefore i think my vet was in the wrong.
Please tell me you had a Frenchie? Did this honestly work I’m desperate
@@xiarabrielle1907 I’m doing the same thing with heating pad N my dog is just facing episodes that just started I’m so worried
Hi! Thank you so much for your video. I have a 4-year old male Dachshund who several days ago was was diagnosed with Hansen Type I IVDD between his T12-T13 & L7-S1 vertebrae. He appears to be in a minor to medium level of pain, has full walking function, but has had a severe reduction in dynamic mobility from his previous self which I assume is from his level of pain. My veterinarian recommended he have surgery but provided us little information while at the clinic, referred us to a specialist out of the area, and sent us home with some paperwork from "Veterinary Partner". The paperwork outlines that surgery is rarely recommended for dogs whom have not lost walking ability and recommends an extensive in-house physical therapy plan (which was not even noted as an option by the veterinarian). Obviously, I will follow up with my veterinarian over the following few days, but was hoping you could provide me with some guidance as well. Thank you so much! Any assistance is greatly appreciated! :D
T Try giving your dog wet cat food ( Friskies, 9 lives) one time to see if your dog improves and if it does give for a few days. This worked for my 2 Dachshunds.
Thank you for this video! Is an X-ray of the neck enough to identify a disc disease?
My dog was diagnosed with ivdd yesterday on thanksgiving. We took him into the animal emergency room because he wouldn’t stop whimpering and crying. The vet recommended the medication route but I’m starting to think maybe he needs the surgery because he’s just in pain. I’ve never seen him so depressed I just want my playful baby back.
If he is just painful, then meds are worth trying. Don’t forget to rest him. If signs aren’t improving or if they worsen we usually recommend tests to prove the cause and surgery if it’s a slipped disk.
Try giving you dog wet cat food a couple of times a day for a few days ,worked for my 2 dogs.
@@philchavez586 what are the benefits of the cat food?
How is he doing now?
Dr. My dog was diagnosed on Sunday with Ivdd. Its Wednesday now and we have taken the route on doing the medication treatment vs surgery. Our dog still has feeling in his legs and we've been discussing if we made the right choice. When do you recommended surgery and how soon? Our dog is large weights 85lbs and is a mixed German Shepard.

@@cbnuy1507 How is your dog?
@@cbnuy1507 That's good. I did the same with my dog too.
My dog was diagnosed three days ago and he has almost no movement in the hind legs, sadly we cannot afford the surgery and have had to take the medicated route. Has anyone had success with route before? When should we consider physical therapy?
I guessing you put your dog down. You are selfish.
How to recover a dog in seizures doc?
Denzel John Meña Do you mean “what do you do when a dog has a seizure?” or do you mean “can a dog recover from seizures/never have another one?”
Three words, folks...Pet Health Insurance.
