No accidents that I am aware of. She is a jumper...if I am standing, she is jumping til I pick her up.

She also found a chicken bone and tried to bring it in to eat it...I caught her with it and took it away...but it was probably 35 percent gone by the time I saw it.

I can't explain what happened...I am just really worried.

I know of several dogs that have injured their backs by jumping.

There are lots and lots of things that could be going on.

Your vertebral column is a series of bony discs with a cartilage cushion separating them. Everything is held in place by ligaments. The discs can slip, can blow out and can bulge. None of that has to be life threatening although it could be very painful.

The biggest problem with it is swelling. The swelling is painful but swelling can also deprive the area of circulation. Usually sedation is used to prevent excessive movement and worsening the situation as well as to prevent pain.

Rest is good medicine, anti inflammatory also help.

Keep me posted, I might be able to help with some of the medical translation and offer some emotional support.
