Forelimb amputee with cervical IVDD

[Guest guest]

Help!  I am going to see a 10 year old 45lb dog (Samoyed) that is a forelimb amputee and diagnosed with cervical IVDD after acute paresis at doggy day care.  This dog was referred by a coworker.  I have only examined him in lateral recumbancy.  He was really painful when he came in, so my colleague sedated him with narcotics (I think hydro) and started him on dexamethasone.  This is what I know about him now: he has to be towel walked (front and back support), he can urinate and defecate on his own.  He has spondylosis throughout his cervical and cranial thoracic vertebrae.

 For pain relief: He is on prednisone, tramadol and gabapentin.  (I did acupuncture on him when he was sedated in the clinic). Surgery is not an option for these owners.  They would like to try to rehab him.

 Here were some of my thoughts, but would really appreciate others: 1.)  I thought a ruffwear dog harness might help the owners help him walk better.  2.) ROM and joint mobs for all legs, 3.) wobble board- each leg separately? 4.) Massage of neck and shoulder muscles.  5.) Continue acupuncture.   I don't have u/s, laser or an UWTM.  I am going to talk to the owners about being referred for UWTM therapy.

 Any thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated  Hershey, DVM, CCRT
