Back, Disc Problems

I think Cobi is now beginning to think that this getting old thing just absolutely sucks lately. Cobi was 11 years old in June and he has been such a trooper his whole life dealing with epilepsy & all the meds that go with that, but now he seems to be showing the signs of degenerative disc disease. First it started with us noticing that he was slightly dragging his left rear leg occasionally and now as of Sunday he is really struggling to the point where we need to help him at times. He will… Continue

so if you dont mind me asking, when he first started his seizures, did he have 3,4,5 at a time, and was it like once a month, on the sam day or anything like that, cause Bebe has his once a month,every 29 days, its very strange! and I thought he was gonna die at one point, he had 5 in a row 2 months ago and they lasted 4 mins each, it was Horrible, I was Just curious about cobi, cause bebe is on bromide and pheno too, How many MG is cobi on? sorry for all the questions, its Just so new to me and very scary as well! Thank you for your time, your Baby is GORGEOUS!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!

We have a friend with a cardigan corgi that has the wheels he uses to get around, since his back and legs can no longer support him. He really gets around well with it. Tell Cobi to hang in there, if he is anything like Ruby he probably has a lot of energy in him.

He's an avid ball player too so he can understand Cobi being upset when he wants to play a little ball and mom and dad say "no" and seem to be big meanies. Maybe you can change around Cobi's ball playing a bit and roll it toward him so he can lay there and still "catch" it...

I hope your Corgi does well with his newfound capability. Has he been adapting? How have you been working with him to get him to understand the new conditions? Best of luck to you and Cobi!!

So sorry your very handsom boy has to go through this. keep in touch Jenny

Gail, go to the site above and order the kit to test for DM. Yogi had the surgeries because of bulging disks according to two MRIs and one Myelogram. We had hoped that was the problem for the dragging legs but it wasn't. The tests came back stating he was at risk for the disease but we know he has it. Keep me posted, Virginia
