[Dailydrool] Bulging Disc

[DkMcSki at aol.com]

Hello, my seven and a half  year old male basset was diagnosed today  with 
a bulging disc in his back.  Difficulty walking back legs are weak  moving 
slowly.  He was put on Prednisone, Tramadol and Gabpentin with a  return 
appointment in a week.  Vet said he wants to try this first, then he  said if 
this doesn't work he could do surgery to take care of it.  How  anyone out 
there gone through this, I want the pills to work so badly because I  am afraid 
of his age and a surgery of this kind.  I  need some advise,  do I go 
somewhere else, the vet is top of the line in our area, he said this  happens in 
Bassets, Beagles and Dachshunds.  Thank you for all for your  help.
