I had a doxi with a herniated disc. Surgery was the only answer. It was quite expensive, but my dog was fine after the surgery and lived another 8 years, Valerie --- On Tue, 3/8/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:

They don't have anyone there overnight but someone comes and checks on them around 9 or 10... The hardest thing for me is him being in a cage alone all night...

Does the vet have someone on duty all night? When Emiliano was a baby and got so sick that he was put into intensive care, my vet only took care of him during regular business hours, and I had to go get him and transport him in a carrier that looked like a baby incubator to the emergency hospital where they had vets and vet techs all night. The two nights that I had to do this, they allowed me to sit by him until 10 or 11 pm, when I would go home to sleep and then return to pick him up and take him back to my vet at 7 am the next morning. It wasn't easy for this old lady but it made me feel somewhat better sitting by him and softly talking to him part of the night. Gloria
