My previous dog was 110 lbs. His back went out and he has spinal stenosis at the end and, long-story short, the vet prescribed meds made him significantly worse.

At one point he would just lay in my living room and watch me because he couldn't get up without pain. At that moment I decided that if he was going to live then I had to figure it out myself.

CBD was a lifesaver. Got another year and a half with him. We also started going through the back passenger door of my jeep. It's hard and I wish you two the best. (I could never get him to use a ramp and I have spinal stenosis in my neck too. I consider CBD the final gift PigPen gave to me as it's helped tremendously with my neck)

Thanks for sharing. Her back legs are getting more stiff but she still gets around fine and is a happy dog. But if it gets a lot worse I'll look into CBD.

Store-bought ramp, or just make him one.

Make it w/ raised sides so he doesn't slip off.

Sorry, her.


Also, the vet can get her some steriod liquid that really helps with her hips.
