Hi Helen and Baxter and welcome to the forum from me and my Gang .

Have you tried Hydrotherapy for Baxer's disk problems? It worked for my little dachie when he slipped a disk and went of his legs.

Hello Helen and http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q108/2dogmom_album/crittergraphics/welcomepawprints.gif

I'm sorry to hear that little Baxter has back troubles. Bless you for taking good care of him and keeping the weight off him, every little bit helps. :)

thanks for the welcome we have thought about hydrotherapy the vet will refer us so we can get it on the insurance if we need it but they seem happy that with the walking and physio they showed me for his back is enough at the moment, i think i might try and get them to let me do it in the summer because he loves water and i think when its hot being a fluffy little monster it cools him down as well!
