We are trying on deciding whether to adopt a 2 yr AmStaff or 2 year old Basset hound. The basset hound sometimes falls while walking or running because of a pinched nerve in his back but doesn’t seem to be in pain, he just gets back up and keeps going,.What things can be done about a pinched nerve in his back. would it require surgery or just treatments. Thanks.

My shih tzu was given a steroid shot, and that seemed to help. Wow, I cannot think of how many vets we’ve seen and how many meds she’s taken…. She sometimes cannot walk still.

Where are you adopting them from? Ask to speak with their vet who has seen him.
