If the vet does say is back pain and try Chiro or bowen therapy, we find that really good for my mums puppy (16 yo bull terrier x blue heeler with terrible arthritis and probs with his heart & lungs)
So we went to the Vet yesterday although she was having a great day, she did give Miss B a very thorough check up and said that for her age and breed she was in fabulous condition! Could not find anything except perhaps a small about of grinding in her back leg joints but she 'expected' that. So we have to watch for a week and if she isnt improving we are going to run a series of blood work. Im a bit happier with that at this stage, but she was a bit odd this morning again The Vet also mentioned there had been several other dogs this week that have been brought in with similar symptoms??
In desperation a few years ago, I took my dog to an animal naturopath, who did a few different things to figure out a range of treatments that she gave me. Bach Flowers, homeopathics, some vitamins, acidophilus - she used a crystal to 'talk' to Odin (!! I did a lot of suspension of disbelief!) to come up with the treatments. Within 2 weeks his skin had cleared up and he was visibly happier.
If you're not happy in a little while, explore this option - costs about as much or less than a consult and meds at a vet clinic My own vet, later on, conceded that traditional treatment couldn't fix everything and they'd heard of this lady and her success.
Glad she's better!
