Ash is only 17 months old and was diagnosed yesterday with this disease. He was completely healthy and active one day and the next he was dragging his back end across the floor and crying when I touched him. I thought our big dog had stepped on him but apparenty, he was born with this. I'm distraught about it. He is on strict crate restriction until I can figure out, along with the vet from the rescue where I adopted him, what course to take. I'm just hearbroken about this. He is currently on Gabapentin and Metacalm. His sister is upset too because she doesn't understand what's wrong with him. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have done a little reading and it seems like there is a lot of ongoing physio and xray following the surgery. I don't even know how successful it is. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
