Tucker is a 4-year-old Chug (a cross between a Chihuahua and a Pug) who was referred to us by our friends at Riverwalk Pet Hospital & Resort in Grapevine. Tucker had Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), which means an intervertebral disc in his spine ruptured, compressing his spinal cord. This is a devastating condition in dogs that can cause pain, sensation loss, and lifelong paralysis.

“Dr. Tichenor, Dr. Q, Angela (vet tech), and Jose exceeded any expectations we could possibly have in the circumstances we faced. Not only did they care for our pup like we would, but they extended love to us as well. Thank you, DVSC Grapevine, for going above and beyond! Your amazing service certainly did not go unnoticed!”

We are so happy that Tucker’s mom, Amy, trusted DVSC to perform a hemilaminectomy on Tucker’s T11-T13. This decompression surgery relieves pressure on the spinal cord and has a high success rate for alleviating symptoms and allowing patients to live happy lives.

We’re wishing Tucker a swift recovery and hope to follow up with his case in a few months to note his progress. 💙
