Jack Russell Recovers After IVDD Diagnosis

My 12 yr old beagle was stage 4, still had "deep" pain sensation in all 4 paws. No bladder control. Couldn't even lift her head the first day.
Could not afford mri or surgery. She did not tolerate the nsaid, we had gabapentin cbd oil 1000mg and some left over tramodol. She equired 24 hour care. Flipped her every 4 hours, kept her pee pad changed, gave water with a large plastic syringe. Tried to express her bladder but was never successful. Thankfully she regained bladder control on day 3 or 4. She was walking within a week.
Strict rest, no running, no jumping, no beds or furniture, carried up and down stairs.
We are on week 4. Doing well. Started human grade green lip muscle capsules 750 mg seem to help. Still do cbd oil once a day.
There can be hope without surgery. ❤

We tried Native pet inflammatory supplements are vet wanted 10k we tried this supplements and it worked the vets wont recommend you this stuff.

Thank you for sharing.
That is a long legged Jack Russell terrier, I thought IVDD only happens when short legged Jack Russell terriers are allowed to use the stairs?

Where do I find that harness she’s wearing @ the end~Thank You so much for this channel🙏🏻

6 month old lab is no where near as bad as this he can still walk and run and things vet has advised crate rest for 4-6 weeks with medication… do u think there is a chance he will be ok

I am in Canada so the costs are in CAD funds. My Beagle was just diagnosed with IVDD. Cost for vet visit, x-rays and 2 pain killers $600 for a 2 hour visit and the items are pretty basic, nothing high tech. I was then told that it would be $3-4K for an MRI, $8-10K for an operation, $300 for blood tests, $50 for "hospital stay", and $300 for anesthesia, plus numerous other items, plus taxes. At least the vet was up front about the costs and I was not presented with a cost breakdown while she was on the operating table. Needless to say I am going to try the 30-45 days of crate rest and hope for the best as there is no way that I can afford this. It's gut wrenching that the prices are just so stunningly out of reach for a vast majority of the pet owners.

If it was not trouble enough that scanning alone costs thousands, there seems to be a shortage of vets because each pet hospital in my area is booked for over 5+ weeks which only leaves the more expensive emergency pet clinics.

My Jack russel terrior was diagnosed with Intervertebral disk disease. Yesterday I took her to the Veterinarian here in Westville Indiana. She has the same problem this Jack Russel has in this video. Does anybody know how long it will take her to get better if she is taking Prednisone. I work but do not have this kind of money. Or is there a place online were a company can match me thanks.

We've got this same issue going on. The Vet here in South Florida estimated 2k for imaging, 4k for surgery and 1500 in meds/followup work. So that's 7,500 dollars to get my 8 year old dog back to normal. I have a 4 year old child and a newborn and just cannot bring myself to spend that much money as we are a middle income family. I wish someone could do this process for 3,500. Makes me very sad.

Awwww yay
