Hello, I'm so sorry to hear that your dog is dealing with compressed neck vertebrae. It can be quite concerning to see our furry friends in discomfort. This kind of condition can stem from various causes, including injury, age-related wear and tear, or even certain diseases like intervertebral disc disease.
The goal right now would be to ensure your dog remains as comfortable as possible. Limiting physical activity is crucial; a harness can be helpful if you need to take your dog out for a walk, as it avoids putting pressure on their neck. Additionally, providing a supportive and soft bed can help your dog rest more comfortably.
Be sure to keep an eye out for any worsening symptoms. If you notice signs like severe pain, difficulty walking, weakness in the limbs, or any changes in bladder or bowel control, these could indicate a more serious issue that needs immediate veterinary attention.
For a more in-depth look at your dog's specific situation and to discuss potential treatment options, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. We're here to help you navigate this and provide the best care possible for your pup.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
