It's been 3 months since my fat girl was diagnosed with IVDD. We've done laser and acupuncture for 6 weeks at a time. She's been in a play pen for 3 months doing strict crate rest. Here's what actually helped us avoid surgery (so far): ✨ At-home red light therapy - After spending $75 per laser session at the vet (twice a week!), my wallet was DYING. A friend told me about at-home red light pads and honestly? Game changer. I use it on her back for 15 min every night and she's shown so much improvement. Way more affordable than vet visits and I can do it whenever she needs it. 💉 Acupuncture - Did help with pain management but was $$$ 🏋️ Controlled movement - Started with 2-minute "walks" (more like slow waddles lol) and gradually increased 💊 Anti-inflammatory supplements - glucosamine + omega-3s 🛁 Hydrotherapy - Just started this! Helping her build muscle without putting pressure on her spine The red light thing was a total game-changer for us. My vet mentioned it casually after our 4th laser session and I was like "wait... I can do this at HOME?!" Bought a pad online (way cheaper than I expected) and within 2 weeks I noticed she was: Getting up easier Less whimpering when moving Actually wagging her tail again 😭 She literally falls asleep during her red light sessions now. I think the warmth feels good on her back. I'm still considering a wheelchair as a backup - any recs? But honestly, with the red light + hydro combo, she's improving more than I thought possible without surgery. For anyone else dealing with IVDD and can't afford the $5k+ surgery... don't lose hope. There ARE other options that work. Drop questions below if you want to know more about what we're doing! 💕🐾 A bunch of people are DMing me asking which red light pad I use - my vet actually has a list of the ones she recommends for IVDD. I'll drop the link here:
