You guys he was cryin through nite, called back she couldnt see him for 2 weeks. I called another vet that day took him in, they showed me his x-ray, advised me he was in so much pain, his back end and leg was full cancer, the guilty I had for letting him suffer so much pain for so long, trusting are vet. Never ever do that again, I heal them. If I only would have taken him somewhere else."

"I just had a similar experience with a vet. 1300 dollars for nothing. My 12 dog has issues with getting around and last time I was there, they thought the best way to deal with his was for two people to hold him down on a concrete floor and clip his nails. One of them crammed an instrument in his ear and was shocked he snapped at her. I'm not sure why but they don't seem to want to help my dog. It's so sad, but I think it was money for them. So hard to find a great vet.
My poor sniffer buggies is at the end of his life and I just want him to have a vet who cares about him and making him comfortable.
Sorry you had to go through what you did. It's just the feeling of not being able to help your animal. That in itself makes me crazy, then finding someone who can and they won't ......mind blowing
I relate Connie"

"Read about this dog that had "Severe intervertebral disc inflammation caused progressive nerve compression at the thoracolumbar junction. Not structural degeneration - inflammatory compression. The nerve signals to her rear limbs were being blocked by inflamed disc tissue pressing on the spinal cord so legs were knuckling. Early stage. Reversible with aggressive, sustained anti-inflammatory intervention and nerve support." Vet recommended the following and after five months dogs was running.
"Inflammatory spinal compression responds to treatment when you catch it before it becomes structural. This causes inflammation to go down Green lipped mussel and MSM . Lion's mane to support the compressed nerve tissue. Glucosamine and chondroitin for the disc environment Mush Buddies Joint and Mobility Chews. One chew a day.
