Many times dogs owners are told their dog has a disc problem when there is low back pain. Disc problems are not nearly as common as a subluxation complex [ bones of the spine that are stuck in motion thus irritating nerves to muscles and organs]. Most vets are not skilled in the diagnosis of non disc but rather biomechanical issues of the spine thus your dog may be labeled w a disc issue when in fact it is not. The picture you of disc protrusion is not as common as a subluxation complex which is a movement problem.
