This is so informative thank you!!! My girl has 2 copies of IVDD w cddy, AND hemivertebrae w kyphosis. She has weird "episodes" daily, where she will pace across the room, plop down, then pace across again, back and forth tons of times- she trembles, her tongue sticks out (with mouth closed), her eyes widen & look far away, she drags her Hind end sometimes, involuntary bead jerks.. Her breathing I is very different. It's very scary, and we don't Even know what the cause is after taking her in to 3 vets! I feel so helpless, I'm so heartbroken for her :'(

i find a common problem in the dogs i treat, particularly Frenchies, they are on laminate floors or hard surfaces were they cannot grip and hurt them selves when they slip, i always tell clients to get rubber or carpet down on the floor so they have less chance of slipping.

My frenchie occasionally yelps in pain when some one knocks at door and she barks.and when she moves in certain positions it will start her off and after she tremors and neck goes into spasm.

Do you have success with 24 hour keppra pulse therapy after a cluster? (Edward DVM from San Diego)

If they already had surgery how high is the chance of them slipping another disc?

my dog ​​started having symptoms this week (Monday), disoriented, walking non-stop, on Wednesday she was already leaning her head against the wall and screaming, she was sedated and intubated early this morning (Friday), everything happened very quickly... the doctors didn't She can undergo MRI because she has heart problems and cannot be anesthetized. It is not known exactly what is causing this, corticosteroids were started 7 hours ago. She is a 6 year old American Bully, I'm scared for her, I'm desperate.

Good afternoon. My bulldog is walking and suddenly falls on its side with rigid paws with its eyes open and sometimes when it falls it pees. It lasts approximately 30 seconds but soon after it gets soft. I haven't been able to jump on the couch for 2 weeks. I took him to the vet and he did an X-ray on the spine. There are small atroses and a small beginning of disc herniation. The treatment started yesterday because if it doesn't get better in 15 days, we'll have to do a magnetic resonance.Sorry Can you tell me what it could be?

My 15 week french bulldog started displaying some worrying symptoms. After a walk he comes home (very energetic running around jumping all the time) suddenly shaking/tremors, looks confused, disoriented, he hold his head down a bit, loses control of his urination. Never had this issue before. Lasts about 15 minutes or so and then he goes to sleep like he's really tired. Took him to the vets and they said he could just be over tired/stimulated or have a virus. He's been on antibiotics but it's still happening after walks. I'm so concerned. I don't know if this could be the issue. But it's only after walks he has it. Do these symptoms come and go? Can they be playing jumping no issues then they get IVDD symptoms then go back to totally normal?

What about head tremor when stretching out it start tremors what cause that? and she's 5 months old. Didn't start until 8 weeks or 10 week.

The french bulldog is a torture breed and must suffer from the bred restrictions all his life. He cannot lead a normal life. As a rule, the owner has to cope with high veterinary costs. Please do not buy a pug. Do not support the breeding of such sick dogs.

My 11'year old Frenchie died yesterday from a Cluster Grand Mai Seizure, she had been on Phenomav and Levetiracetam for 3 months, It stopped working and started creating new seizures, my question is would have I been better off treating her with quality CBD oil only. I feel these medications are not the answer .

My 8 month old just started with the seizure 😢 he has had 4 today
