Glad to hear that the treatment seems to be working for Monster.... hopefully the healing time will not be as long this time and that soon you two will be able to walk again. All the best to the little guy. mj
Well, I'm at the vet now and Monster is getting a laser therapy treatment. He's also gonna be on a few meds and on crate rest for a few weeks just like last time. He's not near as bad as he was last time so I'm glad for that. I still wish he didn't have to go through this. Crate rest is the worst because he has to stay in it 24/7 and its so hard when he starts feeling better and wanting to play because I can't let him or the disk won't heal properly. And even after crate rest he won't be able to do much as his return to activity has to be gradual. Maybe the laser therapy will make it heal faster. We had just started going on walks again because the weather is so nice and I'm gonna miss that.
Back home now. He finished the therapy treatment and we had to drive back home before I could finish this email. He's doing even better now. It looks like the laser therapy is already working. He may be getting some more therapy treatments. I need go do some more research on it so I know what exactly it is doing and what, if any, questions I need to ask the vet.

Monster may be having another disk episode....
For those of you new here, Monster was diagnosed with disk disease in March after being in a lot of pain and not wanting to move. Right now he isn't as bad as last time. He isn't yelping and he still tries to walk around. I can tell he's in pain become he is shaking some and his abdomen is really tight. I have him in his crate so he won't move around and hurt it any further. I just talked to the vet and he said to give him some meds that I have leftover from last time and bring him in in the morning.
