🎩 Prince William’s Road to Recovery 🐾
Prince William, an active 8-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, suddenly began limping and yelping whenever he moved his neck. After a thorough neurological exam, vets confirmed nerve entrapment caused by an intervertebral disc prolapse.
📸 A CT scan revealed a slipped disc (Intervertebral Disc Protrusion) at C6–C7, compressing the spinal cord.
👩⚕️👨⚕️ Specialist surgeon Dr Sara Boyd performed a slanted ventral slot decompression to remove the disc material and relieve the pressure. The surgery went smoothly, and Prince William is now on strict rest for 4 weeks.
With lots of TLC, lead walks only, and no jumping or stairs, he’ll be back to ruling the farm in no time! 💖🩹🐶
