Animals: Dogs: Jason has Slipped Disc. 4 yrs. Old pug Jason who has 17 Champions in his family has slipped a Disc. His owner Mrs. Dorothy Whittall of Staner Court Ramsgate, Kent, first noticed that he was closing control of his hind quarters and constantly flopping over. A visit to the vet revealed that he has a slipped disc, which needless to say is rather painful for Jason. Keeping still is part of the treatment of a slipped disc and this of course is rather difficult for a dog to understand. Jason is therefore in a plaster cast, and is having a series of pain relieving injections- if his does not succeed he would eventually have complete paralysis in his hind quarters and have to he put to sleep. Mrs. Whittall and her Mining Engineer Husband are praying that the treatment will be successful. The cast covers his shoulders, back and sides to his hind and adhesive bandages cover the cast to prevent Jason breaking it off. The vet feels he may have slipped the disc by endear curing to jump too high possibly on to a chair or bent. Jason with his slipped disc March 1974 P022235
