Question for you friend. Was your pup dealing with paralysis? Took mine to the ER last night and she was diagnosed with IVDD. They put her on pain meds and is in kennel too. But she’s not able to move her back legs at all. So I have to take her in today to get her bladder expelled. I’m wondering if your pup recovered from paralysis or lesser symptoms? Thank you in advance

@@whatabreeze mine made a full recovery in about 2 weeks but he wasnt as bad as i thought,,they say there are 5 levels as 5 being severe,i would say mine was a 3 and was given pain meds with anti inflammatory meds,i didnt get an xray or mri because its expensive and the mri gives the best results so i went with the meds and crate rest,,he could move his back legs when i brought him in,,,he only screamed when he first woke up the morning to go outside to pee and then he move a little better but once he laid back down he would stiff up again,but hes fine now...i got very lucky i guess because i thought he was done for,,,hope this helps and wish you the best for a recovery.

Getting our pup through this right now. Got him in to vet the same day. Ortho the next,nuero the next. Can't afford MRI or surgery. But he is improving over the first week. No more knuckling, better gait, much less time panting and hunched position. Most of the day lying down resting. Only allowed to get up for food, water and potty. He has tried to go outside and follow us around the house. But we put him right back down. Have him confined to small area and ortho bed. Hopefully this continues. Hopefully we'll not have to crate him. But we will if necessary.

So glad to hear this, we are in the same position. We were quoted $3-4k for MRI and $12-15k for surgery. There is no way we can come up with this kind of money. It just happened, so we are only on day 2 at this point. I hope to see improvement. One rear leag is working the other is not with no deep pain felt...

@pitpride1220 9 ай бұрын

@@tinapence3252 same price quoted to us. Not affordable for us either. Med cocktail is Anatadine, gabapentin,trazadone and carprofen. Your dog and our dog have about a 90% chance of recovery through conservative treatment. Because they're both able to walk and it is the first occurrence. I hope yours improves. My research says if they don't get worse or if they improve during the first week. They are highly likely to get back normal function. Wishing you the best!

My dad's dog had these symptoms and I'm glad I convinced him to get them checked out immediately at the pet er instead of waiting around a few days for the regular vet to be open. He's on meds now, but after a few days he has been showing improvement in ability to walk and general demeanor, so I am optimistic that he is recovering. Not fully recovered yet, but his hind legs aren't slipping as much and he seems a bit happier, doesn't look like he's crying/tearing like the first day (after the pet er visit). Who knows what would have happeend if we'd waited. Also the last time he's getting on my bed unfortunately. Just can't risk him jumping off again. It looked like he was fine doing so , but it actually was putting this strain on him (smaller dog).

My experience don’t mess around hours can make the difference,get the surgery immediately. Both my dogs we tried meds etc and both times the surgeon said we barely made it into surgery to have any chance.each time it was 6000.00 about and it’s been 5 and 7 years now and only one time one of the dogs had pain,but it left after a few days.dont let your baby suffer get it done now. If you don’t have the money you can apply for a loan at the hospital.

My dog has just been diagnosed with ivdd, inflammation on his knee that come later on be medial patella luxation and he also has secondary stifle osteoarthritis, my dog needs to keep moving to help with the osteoarthritis but I’m afraid if he lives a lot it can worsen his ivdd, I asked the vet other than surgery, what can I do to prevent it from getting worse, he didn’t say meds nor crate rest, he only mentioned to let let my dog up and down stairs and prevent him from standing on his back legs ( I only went to the vet because my dog wound go up stairs normally and wouldn’t stand on his bag legs as often) he didn’t say anything about crate rest nor medications. And I’m so afraid it can get worse, the vet recommended labrela injections for his osteoarthritis, which I was thinking of going thru, until I read some comments on KZbin videos of how it has made their dog pass away or become deaf, and I’m very very scared, I don’t know what to do, I feel stuck.

Hello Christian, we know how difficult it is to see your pet experiencing neurological symptoms. Unfortunately, in order to give clinical advice, our neurologist requires that pets be seen for a thorough workup. At that time, treatment options and recovery could be discussed. We are here for you if you need us. Wishing her a speedy recovery. ❤️ sevneurology.com

my dogs shows signs of IVDD but my vet didn't suggest complete rest. They gave her anti-inflamatory and medication that would help with neurological damage for 2 week. She is 16 years old, I cannot put her under the stress of an MRI and even x-rays are a no, considering she will panic with the risk of further injury. She was sfine until she started to develop a light limp and then her hind legs started to get rigid making it harder to walk, it degenerated in the course of 1-2 weeks. She now has knuckling on her front paw, keeps her neck low, rigid hind legs and finds it difficult to lay down and stand up from her bed. My vet told me she has neurological degeneration (they never even considered IVDD which I don't agree with, this was way too sudden and the problem seems to come from her spine) and also arthritis, so making her rest too much will worsen arthritis, but at the same time if I take her on her walk (although a reduce version of it) twice a day it might worsen the IVDD condition that I strongly suspect she has. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

The Grade 1 & 2 medical management recovery is stated to be much higher in other literature, and equal to surgery. Is there an explanation as to why many places state a similar surgical/medical management recovery rate for grade 1 & 2, while you state a pretty drastic difference?

@Ace21kg 25 күн бұрын

They are neuro imaging and surgery specialist. Likely they push surgery to increase revenue but also there may be studies showing these differences. If some motor and pain present, our vet said up to 80% with medical management if motor remains and pain remains present.

My Dabhi is still having regular body functions, I have to help her with a sling, but she is not laying in waste at all. She has one rear leg functioning and at the worse, if the other leg does not recover, we will amputate and have a tri-pod. No decision will be made quickly as we hope that with medication and rest, she may regain use of it.
