Hi Suz,

As I mentioned before my dog blew out a disc and had to have back
surgery. He was in bad shape with it and 50/50 if he'd walk again.

The surgeon who did his surgery specializes in back surgery on dogs
& well known in the Mid-west......

Here's what he told me at the time.

A ruptured disc is a ruptured disc. If it were only worn down
then that is different, usually from a poor diet or old age.
and that can be supplemented to help.

A ruptured one is from an accident.......mine jumped off a bed and
landed on his front feet solid, throwing his back into a forward
motion. No, no more beds for him.

Maybe you should check with the vet again and make sure what type of
disc problem you dog has?
