My Doberman has neck pain

[Oxjenxo]

A few weeks ago my Doberman yelped extremely loud when her and our other dog were playing. We checked her over and couldnt find anything that caused her pain. I found her the next day and she would not sit nor lay down her back legs were shaking and anytime you moved her she would cry and was favoring left paw and she was also completely corked to the right and wouldn't straighten out. We took her to the vet and they turned her neck to the left side and she yelped. They did all the disease testing for dobermans and she has nothing. They figured it was a slipped disk and prescribed her pain meds and muscle relaxers. It's been a few weeks now and she is definitely feeling better but still limps and cried randomly when she moves wrong. I went for her follow up appointment and they hoped she was doing better by now but didnt give me any other options. The vet doesn't seem to be giving me any answers! Has this happened to anyone's else's Doberman I just want her to feel better!

Get an MRI test then go to a board certified neurologist.  Send all your results to different specialists and get several opinions.  Dobermans are prone to wobblers.  However, if it is a slipped disk- one wrong move and it's like a bullet to the spine and will paralyzed your dog.  I’m going thru the same thing now...  god I hope my Doberman is going to be okay.  At least I know what it is and we caught it early- well early enough.  Remember, limit your pet activity!

How is your Dobe doing now? I would be checking in with a neurologist. Dobes are very susceptible to wobblers syndrome and it generally initially presents as neck pain.
