I can't remember the name for sure, it might be the Convenia...whatever it is I'm amazed at how it totally took the pain away , the dog can actually move without whimpering. He will still end up paralyzed but this seems to have halted the whole process.
Do you know what's causing the back trouble? Nerves, arthritic, joint pain? Just curious, as the term "bad back" can be used for a myriad of things!
