    Ruptured Disc :(

    I just got home from our long vacation to find out that Boo boo has a ruptured disc in his back. My grandpa brought him to the vet, while we were gone, and the vet have him some medication. My grandpa noticed something was wrong, when Boo boo couldn't even get into his bed. The vet said that he will be ok, unless it become arthritic. If it become arthritic, he will be paralyzed. Please please keep Boo boo in your thoughts and prayers.

    Oh my Goodness!!! Poor Boo boo!!!! Is the medication helping him/her right now?

    Your Grandfather certainly observed Boo Boo and did something about it.

    Prayers for Boo Boo, as I am currently taking care of my daugher's German Shepard . , I still have to decide which Vet to take her to.

    Poor thing. Boo boo will be in my thoughts.


    Did the vet say if any physical therapy would help? Massage, swimming, etc...?
