It takes constant communication with your vet to get meds right for your dog in #IVDD recovery to be pain free 24/7. They start out giving the minimum they hope will do the job & depend on us to tell them when it doesn’t. Don't feel bad about hounding them!

Your dog may be in pain & you don’t know it. Dogs are stoic & hide pain until it is very severe. Signs of pain: not wanting to play or go for a walk, sleeping more, shivering, shaking, not wanting to move, hiding, even biting. Photo credit: GetAlongDachshundRescue
