My daschunds discs in her back, the space between three of them have narrowed and I was wondering if there was anything I could do besides surgery?

Please help

Moved from Alternative Medicine (which is for us humans) to the Dog board of the forum.

Medical issues are not my strongest area. Too bad DocWill couldn't cope with this site. My usual advice is to listen to your vet. Although they tend to disagree with each other, they are highly trained people and unlike anybody here or our vets, they have seen your dog. What was right for somebody else's dog, may or may not be right for yours.

I would take a very close look at the evidence behind any alternatives suggested here or elsewhere. Some people put great store on untested ''natural'' practices. Before I risked my dog with any treatments my vet didn't suggest, I would want to hear more than ''it worked on my dog'' or some website of unknown backing.

I don't know if there are dog chiropracters, but I have been going to one, and have the x-rays to show that it is increasing the space between the discs (and some other good stuff about shoulder blade location, head carriage, etc.) I'd talk to your vet if you want to go that way, so that you can find someone with experience.
