I wonder if anyone’s lab has had discospondylitis and if so, how long did they take to recover? Our poor Murphy had extreme back pain in middle of December and after X-ray and mri he was diagnosed. He was hospitalised for a week for IV pain relief and IV antibiotics. We got him home just before Xmas. He’s been on 2 sets of antibiotics and pain relief, all 3 times a day since we got him home, so 6 weeks approx. Overnight he’s presented with backache again further up his spine. We are worried sick as our insurance has been used up, and more, we are just at our wits end. I think I just want to hear good news from anyone that it’s worth persevering, both regarding the pain Murphy is experiencing and also the huge vet bills that we really are struggling to pay. We’re at approx £8000 at the moment before the new infection he seems to have. please help xx
