Nice picture there Ben. Hey I like leftovers too,
sometimes they are better then when you first
cook the stuff. Way to go Ben you know what's good.

PLEASE PRAY FOR BEN !!!!!!!!,, All has been great until Ben started to act very different,very little movement,,than yelping in pain when laying down and getting up,,rushing Ben to my vet and having a complete skeletal X-Ray we found that Ben has 4 badly calcified disc's in his neck.
As days go by his pain level increases, pain meds, muscle relaxer's and steriods are currently being used to try help keep his pain controlled,but when he move's, he yelp's in constant severe bad pain,
and hearing him cry breaks my heart something terrible!!!!
These meds.do not seem to be helping anymore and there's nothing more we can give him!
we can only keep Ben calm as our vet recommends and hope things get better.
This is just horrible! ,,and this is no ones fault.
if anyone has any advice it would be very helpful!...
decompression surgry may be an option,,but is very expensive,

Did your vet give you any idea what could have caused the damaged discs? Glyco-Flex! Please try him on Glyco-Flex. Sometimes it goes a long way to make things better. We have several dogs on it here. I don't know how it works, just that it does.
