Hello everyone,
I am new to the group and looking for support on the matter.
My 3 year old amazing most lovable dog ever Mason has passed away due to IVDD. Ivdd if not familiar is a Intervertebral disc disease.
Mason was a fun loving dog who enjoyed running , jumping moving and showed no signs. Just 2 days ago he was running and jumped up which cause his back legs to go numb. After bringing him to the vet they said it his patellas that needed to have surgery and gave him morphine and sent us home. With less than 12hrs Mason was paralyzed from the waist down and was getting worse. We rushed him to the emergency hospital who determined that he had a herniated disc that erupted and was leaking onto his spinal cord that had paralyzed him.
We did not have the option for surgery at this point given that he was likely not going to survive. We had to make the toughest choice and put him down due to all the pain he was in.
Has anyone ever experienced this issue in their dog? If so, was there any signs? It mentions online there is 4 stages of IVDD but he automatically was at stage 4 unfortunately.
Thank you
