This is my first time using this so hopefully it will make sense. My first cocker spaniel who is three years old SUDDENLY ruptured a disc in her back 7 months ago. After emergency surgery from which we weren't sure she would be able to walk I am thrilled to say that she is walking (awkwardly but so what) and making wonderful improvement. While I can see some days are worse than others and the vet has my giving her Rimadyl on those days, my real concerns or questions for anyone else who may have been through this are: First she continues to have problems with her bodily functions. I'm not convinced that she knows when she is having an "accident" of either sort so this is somewhat stressful. Can I anticipate improvement or her ever regaining control.............any projection of how long, etc. Basically the vets have no idea. The other concern I have is that I have another cocker who is two years old now (not related). Should I be concerned that this will happen to her as well??????? Any information you can share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
