My mom has a poodle and about a year ago she accidentally stepped on the poor guy when he ran under her feet as she was getting out of the car and he now has a herniated disc in the area where she stepped on his back. She has since gotten him tons of Cortizone shots (let's not even go there) and she gives him aspirin every day but he is getting worse and worse.
My mom is the kind of person that would put her dog to sleep before she would pay for surgery, which is the only thing the vet is recommending. Does anybody have any ideas on alternative txtmts that could help the poor guy? He is only 5 and mom has said she will have him PTS if he gets any worse so I want to find something to help him. There is a holistic vet in the area but mom doesn't buy into that stuff and won't take him but I thought maybe if I get something to give her to give him, she might go for it. I just don't know enough about this stuff but there's got to be something!
