We met a lovely 6-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who came to us with significant back pain. After performing an MRI of the spine, we discovered:
➡️ Chronic intervertebral disc herniation — most consistent with Hansen Type II (protrusion) at T12–T13
➡️ Mild degenerative intervertebral disc disease affecting the lumbar spine
With this information, we can now guide the best treatment plan to help this sweet pup get back to feeling comfortable and mobile again. 💙🐾
