[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the size of the dog. We have a beagle mix and were sent to the one in Annapolis Junction. We then went to a holistic vet place in Bethesda and they said that we could just rest him and see how it went. In November they said we'd need surgery. We've rested him (very, very short walks for 6 weeks, than gradually increasing length, but still much shorter than before) and carry him up and down the stairs (unless he sneaks up/down without us noticing). He's improved so much. He may eventually need the surgery, but there is not guarantee that the surgery will work or that the results will last. Try resting the dog completely for 6 weeks to see if there's any improvement first.[/quote]
