God bless you. My 12-year old GSD just had surgery for a herniated disc, and we have a long row to hoe.
My little Shih Tzu had surgery yesterday, and I’m amazed at how well he is doing! Veterinary technology is just incredible! The Vets and techs have been so lovely! The surgeon who did Ranger’s surgery is Dr. Wells! Everybody at DVSC (Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center) in Grapevine Texas are top notch! They have also fallen in love with my dog! They keep saying what a sweet, lovable boy he is! I have to agree! I can literally see God working through them, which I told them! They then offered to pray over him daily, and for that I’m so thankful! I can’t wait until he comes home on Friday!
Hi. My dog just had a c6-c7 neck surgery (2 days ago). Should it be carried out for urine etc for the following 2-3 weeks or is it safe enough for it to walk by itself with a bit assistance?
Tnx❤
Thanks Doc 💕🌹
Is there any way u can retrain your puppy after the surgery?
She seems to have forgotten how to use the pad as her bathroom and she’s peeing and pooping everywhere!
My dog is walking again thanks to your how to videos and is recovered!
My dog is post operative ivdd for 3 weeks. He can walk by himself out if his crate and to the back yard for potty. Is it ok for him to sit with us on the floor? He loves to cuddle and be with his humans.
Do you know where I can find that type of harness? I found similar but I think that type would work better.
This is a great demonstration thank you. I live in China and due to lockdown my dog had to be returned from the vet 7 days after his surgery. When should I start a routine like this? I worry about overworking him too soon and causing him more pain and discomfort.
Thank you
Thank you so much for the video. How long after the surgery should the therapy start, and how often should we do it?
Why dont you do the bicycle move in the physiological direction? Forward?
I dont see the link for the post op guide
The video is very helpful. When the pet is at hospital, post surgery in IPD, should the dog be put through NMES or any physio sessions? Or one should wait for 3-4 weeks
THANK YOU!
My dog is starting to walk 5 days after surgery is that normal?
