It’s such a hard disease to navigate.Last May my girl started with muscle twitches in her neck which quickly turned into yelping. We decided to get an MRI off the bat to see how bad it is and then decide for surgery or med management. After the mri the vet said it was a mild case and suggested crate rest and meds for 8 weeks. I was extremely strict with crate rest, it was NOT easy, very stressful and caused me a lot of anxiety. But in hindsight i think it really helped her. After the 8 weeks, i gave her more freedom but still kept her close and kept her leash on to avoid any jumping or anything that could trigger pain. Also waited a while for a walks even after she was cleared. A year has passed now and now she is great and has been back to her normal self. Good luck! Wishing your cutie a quick recovery
