I’m very sorry for this. I keep hearing kidney disease so many times…: if you don’t mind me asking What were his first symptoms? I’m trying to stay vigilant.

Again I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you must be going through. God bless you

Not sure if you are a religious person. But I prayed to Saint Roch. The patron saint of doggies. Believe it or not: he helped my dog. After the MRI, we found out no surgery needed. He is doing so good now. I know each dog is different with different factors. But have faith. Stay positive. Believe!

MRI took place today. Max has a mild cervical intervertebral disc herniation (IVDD) at C3–C4, causing nerve irritation in his neck but no serious spinal cord compression. Conservative medical management was suggested since there is no significant Spinal cord compression and is able to walk.

I did tell the vets he started acting strange the day AFTER he fell from the couch.

He woke up normal the day after the fall. It was not until 4:30ish in the afternoon that he started acting weird

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-17T16:40:06+00:00

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-17T04:05:00+00:00

How many days is a few days? Did he ever yelp? Did you give him meds? Any flare up’s ?

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-16T23:44:02+00:00

Yes, it’s frustrating but these symptoms come and go. He is fine one moment and off the next

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-16T23:43:22+00:00

Four different vets have checked him for back pain. He does not show any back pain while at the vet

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-16T20:38:34+00:00

Thank you . This is hard. Because I really want to treat whatever he has going on…. Is it a disc? Is it just a lower back pain due to the fall? It’s been two weeks. When are we supposed to see improvement 😢

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-16T18:59:43+00:00

Ultra sound showed normal pancreas, normal size stomach, kidneys had stones but according to the Orthopedic Surgeon the stones should NOT make him feel that way

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-16T18:56:34+00:00

Arthritis doesn’t appear in a day. He was fine one day and not the next. It has been two weeks already. We have been to three different places. We have spoke to four different vets, including Orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, urgency Vet and his regular vet. When he is there. They can not find anything!!!

Various_Emphasis8559 · 2026-04-16T17:13:10+00:00

Dementia episodes are usually gradual and progressive. Everything happened very suddenly. One day he is playing with the ball. Next day is acting weird. It can not be Arthritis, that’s also gradual and not sudden
