My poor Blue dog slipped a disc! So I have to keep her immobile for

2 weeks at least. She's an aussie /cocker mix and IS obsessive compulsive about everything, so the solution is to keep her strung out on tranquilizers.

I'm not used to her just laying around!!!! Usually she's this bundle of kinetic energy rocketing through EVERY aspect of her life, and now, she just LOLLS.

Her disc is really bad, and could actually paralyze her if we don't force the rest on her. And apparently, she's slipped a number of other discs and we didn't know it, for she sure as heck didn't let us know, always being the bombadier ball dog at ANY cost.

She's on glucosimine and tranqs and anti-inflams, so think good thoughts for my girl. She's an aussie trapped in a cocker body, and that cocker body won't keep up with that OCD aussie style it seems. She's only 6.....

She sounds like a great dog. My buddy had a golden retriver mix who had joint problems and had to take it easy and be medicated for over a year. He recovered nicely and is doing well at 10 years of age. I hope your girl does as well.

after knee surgery, so I bought this portable fencing made for the purpose and walled off most of the backyard.

A few days after the surgery I came home from work and found he had knocked the entire fence down, and was wagging happily at me from the "forbidden" part of the yard.

blue and green dogs reek of freeper musk...

Oh! this thread is about actual DOGS...

nevermind.

I feel for you. May you both have some kind restful loving naps together during her recovery.

;-)

Poor baby...I hope she heals soon.

I have a history of back trouble as well...

me n my dawg....

I hope both of you are better soon.

with your "baby's" recovery, Friend. I have a mini-dachshund, they are notorious for slipping disks.
Be sure to talk to your vet about her future activities. We have bought ramps for Schnicks,(She is not allowed to jump on or off the furniture or in and out of the car),they are not to highly priced and can be found in DOG FANCY and other dog lover magazines.

Hope your blue dog is happy soon.

she ruptured her ACL last week and had surgery last tuesday. when i went to get her on saturday she was so rambunctious even on three legs that i decided to board her at the vet until the sutures came out and she was walking on her leg normally, so its a couple of weeks more before she comes home.

otherwise, the 5 other dogs i have would have stimulated Aja to run around the yard and re-injure herself.

as to the glucosamine treatments, i have found the very best treatment, it is called synflex, which is a liquid form of glucosamine that is absorbed better than the solid forms found in pills. i swear by it. 1 tablespoon a day rejuvenated my 11 year old kuvasz Kodi and she is walking better now than she has in a couple of years.
