Happy new year not.

Got a young terrier with a slipped disc in her back. £1000 for a scan £8-10 grand for surgery so that won’t be happening. Got her on metacam and in a crate rather then the kennel. Has anybody had this hopefully she recovers and I can pet home her.

A mate put a good bitch down at the start of the season,  it happened last season and he hoped the rest would of sorted it out, sadly it wasn't to be. Best of luck

Can you not get somebody on the dole to take it to pdsa? I was once  told its a charity vets or something like that and you make a donation of what you can afford..

Just googled that, if they are in receipt of council or housing tax benefit they can register up to 3 dogs but only 1 pure bred pedigree dog. All that is asked for is a donation after treatment,

I'm sure you just need to have some benefit help on housing rent rather than be fully on the dole,but a very good call anyway Smithie..

I honestly don’t think a bone man can fix that. Otherwise professional athletes would have it done, rather than surgery. A slipped disc can be serious.

I Had a lurcher this year left up for five weeks with the same problem couldn’t run at all. All caught up. brought it to a greyhound man and he diagnosed it as a slipped disc between the shoulder blades , he put it back in and gave a course of synulox and ten days rest. I done exactly as the man said and when I took him out the first week killed 6 foxes with him Mite work for u too worth a go anyways. Hope it works out for ya

Good luck with her but slipped disks can be the end of the career
