Your dog jumps, plays,
and shows different postures to entertain you and also to make your
child feel happy. Do you ever realize that your dog can also suffer
from cervical problems. The spine of the dog is the most exposed body
part of the animal. Though anatomically, the animals are different
from us but mostly they also have some similar body phenomenon.
Your dog can also suffer from spinal
pain like you and it can also create a lot of trouble for it. They
are dumb and cannot express in our ways, but there eyes express many
things. If you are true master and love it, you should be able to
recognize its troubles. Canines too have their joint problems. They
can also suffer from herniation or bulging disc. The most possible
area of herniated disc is the cervical region.
The dogs use their
neck very much and they are also prone to injury from too much motion
or balance less jumps. If the canine suffers from herniated disc
injury or if due to aging, it has got the problem, it will show the
symptoms of it. Being a good master you should be able to realize the
changes in him/her.
The very first symptom it will show is
loss of interest in playing, roaming etc. The dog will be seen
moaning slightly while playing or if you drag its collar. If you
touch the area of its neck you will find it hot. The animal will
resist your approaches in the area.
If you observe such symptoms take him
to a veterinary hospital, where the veterinarian will carry out the
test and will recommend you the treatments meant for it. Also, a neck
brace or cap will be provided so that it cannot move its neck too
much.
