Hernias, dog injured absolutely gutted

[callum104 27]

Just starting to get ready for my first season with the dog and it he started crying a lot for no apparent reason which then got a lot worse very quickly. He's currently on anti inflammatories and pain killers (prescribed by vet) and just waiting to see how if his condition changes this week. If not it's €500 for a CAT scan at a specialist to see what it is. 

Vet says it's either a muscular injury or a hernia (somewhere in his neck). The other day he and the whippet decided to running jump off a 3m wall for some reason which may or may not be related (was fine for a few days after). 

Just wondered if anyone has had anything similar and if their dog was able to recover 100%. Absolutely gutted, not nice seeing him in the state he's in at the moment.

from what you say, it sounds more like the dog has a trapped  nerve some where from its neck along its spine,  maybe take him to  a good boneman, give him anti inflammatorys, and a lot of rest,if that dont work   and hes no better, no option but a good working dog vet.atb.

Skip the first stage and just go to a good working dog vet / physio.

Rest and anti inflammatories.

Jumping down put a lot of strain on the shoulders, hopefully will settle.
