corgis and bad backs

We are really worried about our sweet Penny dog.
She couldn’t put her front paws up on the couch anymore, and was walking sort of hunched up in the back. Then she yelped when I picked her up.
Vet says a disk is about to go. Prescribed two weeks complete confinement and some pills. Penny is very puzzled why we have cooped her up. Vet says if the disk blows, Penny will be paralyzed. If that happens we will have to put Penny to sleep. I can’t stop crying.

Comment by Porter & Burleigh on June 19, 2009 at 5:16pm: My heart goes out to you. It might be worth gettting a second opinion to see if there's some alternate treatment.
