IVDD IN DOGS- When is the right time to proceed with surgery?

Understand this. When MRI scans cannot determine precisely what’s wrong, we owe it to our pets to give things a chance. My Beagle is 10, and I went ahead with the surgery due to obscure MRI results. The mass was very big, and the surgery was a marathon affair. I think it’s also up to us owners to go with what we know about our animals, and the commitment to our darling pets recovery.

That was frustratingly uninformative.
