Happy new year not.


Recommended Posts

Got a young terrier with a slipped disc in her back. £1000 for a scan £8-10 grand for surgery so that won’t be happening. Got her on metacam and in a crate rather then the kennel. Has anybody had this hopefully she recovers and I can pet home her.

Can you not get somebody on the dole to take it to pdsa? I was once  told its a charity vets or something like that and you make a donation of what you can afford..

Just googled that, if they are in receipt of council or housing tax benefit they can register up to 3 dogs but only 1 pure bred pedigree dog. All that is asked for is a donation after treatment,

I'm sure you just need to have some benefit help on housing rent rather than be fully on the dole,but a very good call anyway Smithie..:thumbs:

I honestly don’t think a bone man can fix that. Otherwise professional athletes would have it done, rather than surgery. A slipped disc can be serious.

I Had a lurcher this year left up for five weeks with the same problem couldn’t run at all. All caught up. brought it to a greyhound man and he diagnosed it as a slipped disc between the shoulder blades , he put it back in and gave a course of synulox and ten days rest. I done exactly as the man said and when I took him out the first week killed 6 foxes with him?‍♂️ Mite work for u too worth a go anyways. Hope it works out for ya

Good luck with her but slipped disks can be the end of the career 

Yeah vet said that if she can get back right I will pet home her as she’s lovely mannered dog around the house no trouble at all
