Hi. I have a 3 year old male peke named Snickers, and starting just recently he refuses to walk up any stairs, or even walk around outside. His personality has changed greatly and I first attributed this to my wife leaving for graduate school. It has been 3 weeks and I finally took him to the Vet (assuming it was no longer depression), and was told he may have a compressed disk that is affecting his left hind leg. My Vet mentioned that he should get plenty of bed rest, and if this continues may have to be put to sleep. How could a problem like this result in him having to be put to sleep? Is surgery an option? I would like to know what may cause something like this, and what are the options for treatment?
