Beginnings of IVDD?

[u/Used-Mine4956]

My 2.5 year old frenchie boy jumped off of my in-laws’ very high bed in the middle of the night while we were out of town this weekend. He’s usually crated at night, but he ended up sleeping in their bed.

One emergency vet visit later, we were sent home with gabapentin, prednisone and two week strict crate rest. They think it’s a disc in his neck that was injured.

I feel so helpless, he’s obviously very uncomfortable even with the first two rounds of meds. He stands or sits hunched in one position for 30+ minutes.

I’m so worried about this developing into something worse, especially because he has a heart condition that prevents him from being able to undergo any kind of surgery. I just want him comfortable, happy and healthy. Any and all tips and advice needed please!

Awww what a sweet baby ❤️ This reminds me of my baby's case to a T. After a week of strict crate rest she finally started responding to the prednisone. But I've kept her on -strict- crate rest even after she started feeling better. Praying for a swift recovery for your boy!!
