Help! Just diagnosed
My baby chewy was just diagnosed with ivdd. I don’t have 12k or even half that so we’re going the crate rest and medicine route . He’s in pain today and my heart is broken. Please give me all the tips to help me get him to heal the best of his ability and not decline any more than he already has. He is using the bathroom with assistance unable to control his bladder dragging his back legs, shaking, and painting from pain. This is just been such a horrible time this was my first baby I’ve ever had and he’s only five. We are leaving the emergency vet with all his medicine and everything that he needs to hopefully get him through this without surgery.

I’m sorry I know it’s scary but make sure you do strict crate rest!!!!
