My dog's spinal surgery:
In 2019, when my working cocker spaniel (Winston) was 7 years old, he experienced some trouble walking. An MRI showed compression on his spinal cord, and he was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. He underwent spinal surgery to have the pressure removed and implants inserted to stabilize his spine. This is his story.
