Alternative to surgery for a slipped disc in my Daschund?
I have a 3 year old rescue pup beagle / daschund mix. Through regular daily activities she managed to get a slipped disc in her spine. Surgery was not an option at the time because I had no job & couldn't afford it. A month of rest & crate "LockDown" she seems to be OK until she reinjured her back.
Is there anything at all I can do to help my pup instead of surgery? Acupuncture? Holestic Therapy? Anything?
She can walk, & go to the bathroom but she shakes & seems to be miserable & is on a steroid to reduce the swelling. I don't know if it is just a bruised disc or if surgery is her only hope at a happy life.
Pease help!!
