My five year old mini dachshund Al-B jumped off a high bed in a hotel onto a hard floor. This happened on our drive down from Chicago. We could tell he was hurt, but we didn't know how bad it was. The next day, we saw a Vet in Fort Myers, and we were assured he was going to be alright. Within 24 hours, he couldn't walk. The vet referred us to SCAN in Naples. We saw Dr. Carnes on a Friday afternoon. She has two dachshunds of her own, and knew what the problem was immediately. After an MRI, it was revealed that Al-B had a ruptured disc, and four compressed discs. In addition, she told us that if we had waited any longer to get help, he would have been paralyzed. She performed surgery that evening. After the surgery, Dr. Carnes called and told us she expected a full recovery. We had to buy an enclosure, and a doggie stroller, to keep him from running and jumping. Luckily, his brother Bosco, our eleven year old dachshund, was a very calming influence on his little brother. It is now four weeks after surgery, and Al-B is doing great. We are so thankful that we were referred to SCAN. Because of Dr. Carnes, we have our little furbaby back. Thank you Dr. Carnes!
