When Reggin was about two and the over energetic young cocker he was back than, he somehow inflamed a disc. He had alot of the same signs as your boy. He was put on anti-inflammatories and pain meds. Lots of rest and relaxation. He's a little stiffer these days but no worse for the wear. Hopefully your boy only pulled something and there's no spinal involvement. He wasn't happy to be restricted from "ball" time.

I can't stand to not have a dog sleep with me, Fiancee says that I never grew out of stuffed animals and blankies so I had to replace them with something more "grown up" . At least they don't sweat on me when I cuddle them at night . Anyways the whole point is our bed is HIGH off the ground and I was worried about Reggin jumping up and down (Indy can't jump that high at all to begin with) so I went to petsmart and bought some doggy steps. Everybodies happy and even the cats use them now. They caught on pretty quick.

Hold on a second his majesty would like to add something....


Hey, Reggin here, the whole step thing was a shining bit of brilliance on Mum's part. It didn't take long for me to realise that hey, it's much more comfy and alot less jarring when I trot down my stairs instead of taking a leap of faith. Keep at her Marlin my man you'll have your own stairway to heaven in no time.
