A suspected slipped disc in a dog can be very worrisome for owners. What care will your dog need and can a slipped disc in a dog heal itself?
When you say ‘dog training’ most people think of puppy classes or training for a canine competition. Here at McTimoney Animal Therapy I see dogs with back pain and injury every day, but there is regular training you can do with your dog every day to help strengthen and protect your dogs back from damage.
It is sometimes hard to know how to make a dog with a slipped disk comfortable, but there are several things that you can do to help your dog at this time. Your dog getting a slipped disk, or Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) can be a worrying time but with the proper care and attention most dogs can go on to live a pretty normal life.
Dogs can show pain in very subtle ways through their actions and behaviours. They can often exhibit pain in varying ways too so any behaviour that is abnormal for your dog should be investigated further.
