Does anyone have any experience with this? Theo has been having intermittent *exquisite* pain in the lower back/tail/hip area. We had a normal walk this morning, and as we were walking up the stairs into the house he started screaming. Lifting his tail or extending his right hip is horrible--he screams and screams. Right now he's at the vet having X-rays and an exam, and we're going to have an orthopedic consult, but our regular vet suspects "lumbosacral syndrome" (also known as "cauda equina"). We're pretty sure it's not limber tail or hip dysplasia or an abdominal problem.
If you could spare some good thoughts for my sweet boy, I would appreciate it.
