Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I just saw a 6 year old female spayed german shepherd which has been showing signs that are consistent with lumbo sacral stenosis. She is reluctant to jump in the truck, has tail pain and walks in a way to " protect " her lumbar area ie looks hunched over. She is reluctant to extend her left hind,has tail pain on elevation, normal rectal though, normal neurologically. She has pain when trying to defecate and is unable to get in the position to defecate. Radiographs show spondylosis at L1-2,L2-3 and some degenerative changes at L7-S1 on both right and left side. I understand that she needs an MRI for proper diagnosis but this is not an option in this case. What are my options in treating this dog with rehab techniques and modalities?
