Lou was referred to BVNS Rockville by Dr. Lewis at VCA Old Town Animal Hospital. She was very painful in her mid-back and weak in both hind legs to the point that she could barely take steps.

Dr. Lipitz diagnosed an L1-2 disc herniation as the cause for her signs via a spinal MRI examination and Lou was treated surgically that same day. Dr. Lipitz performed a hemilaminectomy surgery to remove the herniated disc material and alleviate the compression on her spinal cord.

Pictured here is Lou at her 2 week post operative recheck examination. She has made a wonderful recovery following surgery. She is now comfortable and able to walk. Lou has quite the personality and was barking and talking all through hey visit, acting and feeling like her normal self again!
