What to do if your dog has slip disk
If you suspect your dog has a slip disk, bring it in to your local emergency vet hospital as soon as possible. Time is of the essence if there is pressure pushing on it's spine. So will your dog recover from slip disk surgery? For dogs that cannot walk, surgery is generally the best option. If a dog still has feeling in his legs and paws, surgery has up to a ninety (90%) percent success rate. Once the sense of deep pain is lost, especially if it has been more than 48 hours (2 days), the odds of recovery decline exponentially.
