[Dailydrool] Back Problems...Help and Drool Needed

[Valerdoos at aol.com]

Our Sarah Jane had to have back surgery in June. She had some of the same  
problems that the Stink is showing. She walked a bit drunken and then 
started to  fall to the left hind quarter/ We would brace her up with our leg 
against her  back leg. . She also did not seem to vocalize pain . Our vet sent 
to   a surgeon. 
An mri showed the ruptured disc .Part of her spinal  cord was so  
compressed that the vet was amazed she could walk.She then had surgery .Sarah  Jane 
is 10 yrs old and did very well after the surgery/ She can walk 
and seems pain free.
I believe there are other bassets who have had other treatments for   disc 
disease.
We tried to keep Sarah from jumping and having run of the house when we  
weren't home while we waited for her surgery. It was about a week between our  
vet appointment and the day of surgery
We sending drool and hope your vet has some answers for you.
 
Valerie & Sarah Jane
