Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone on the board has had a cat with a herniated disc. My cat was experiencing pain and a limp tail. After several vet visits and finally an MRI, the neurologist says he has a bulging disc (when I asked, they said this was the same as a herniated/ruptured disc).
Since his tail was the only part of his body affected, they were hopeful that bed/crate rest would help it heal and that he wouldn't need surgery.
I'm still a little confused about the prognosis and it seems like it's more common in dogs than cats. I thought I'd come here to see if anyone had experience with this issue and how it turned out.
