How My Vet Helped My Back and Gave Me My Life Back

x ray of a 10 year old poodle.
This is a x ray of my spine. As you can see, there is a joint that is closing up and it was causing me pain. It also was putting me into a early retirement of being a medical alert service dog.

Ma and the vet had a long talk about options to bring me relief from the pain. They tried the conventional stuff like glucosamine chews, I wouldn't eat them. They tried powders in the food, I refused to eat it. They tried different type of chews, powders, pills...did I mention I was a picky poodle?? I would rather go hungry than have to eat of that stuff in my food...
There were many nights we went to sleep with the sounds of my tummy growling.
