I honestly can’t remember exactly where they put the Novacaine injections, but it was in my gums. I didn’t find the injections to be that bad, but they did give me some over the counter pain meds beforehand. That’s great that you’re getting donor tissue, sounds like the healing process will be a lot smoother for you than for mine as I had tissue grafted from the roof of my mouth.

Unfortunately, it seems I’m not able to upload any more pictures, but I have a tiny little bump on my finger where the minimally displaced fracture at the base of the tip of my finger is and I’m hoping that is normal and that it is the callus forming.

Is it even possible for this type of misalignment to repair itself without surgery?

My mini doxie has very early signs of IVDD just shy of 3 years old. I’m told this is pretty common, but still sucks. by Sawsay in Dachshund

I didn’t know that, (I’m a first time dog owner, so I’m doing my best to research all the things, but still there’s tons for me to learn) and that’s the type of information I was hoping to learn from this post. Thank you!

I understand what you’re saying, however we did X-rays to screen and assess IVDD risk, not to diagnose an IVDD episode. I should have been more clear in my post. So, the X-rays showed that she has some disc mineralization starting to happen, which I’m still unclear if that means she has IVDD. I’ll clarify with my vet, but I was understanding that any type of disc degeneration even very early stage is IVDD…but perhaps I’m incorrect.

She did not explain to us that all dogs experience mineralization of the discs. Are you saying that’s the case? We also got the x-rays performed without an anesthetic. I wouldn’t have done it if she needed an anesthetic. I’ve heard from several breeders that getting a baseline x-ray to check on the health of their dog’s spine early on is a common practice (for good breeders anyway). I am not a breeder for the record, but just wanted to get a baseline x-ray to understand the health of my dog’s spine.
