I really appreciate the kind letters of support from everyone. I spoke to
the head surgeon who did the April disc surgery and he said in 16 years of
practice, he's never seen a second disc go out on a large breed dog. So the
other younger surgeon didn't realize it was only dachshunds who are
Dear Carol,
There is no need to feel uncomfortable going back to the first specialist
