We just went through a herniated disk with our pom. Unfortunately she died. She did respond to some high doses of prednisone and another toy dog we have has had success with Glucosomine/chrontroitin supplement. Its a waiting game either way hoping that the inflamation goes down. The Glucosomine doesn't hurt either.

Thanks for the information, After the second week he went four days before another episode.The Previcox is a new non steroid drug. I put him back on the meds at one half dose and seems normal , I have considered the glucosamine supplement it has helped me alot. George

Me too. I have bad knees and I really notice the difference when I take it. For the dog we ordered synflex on ebay. This is a liquid and easier to dose a dog with.
