We are fortunate in that my dachshund had a back injury that wasn't IVDD but was a twisting injury of her spine. I asked my vet about the L'il Back Bracer (LBB), and he said I should go for it, so I did. At first, to be honest, it was hell getting the LBB on my dachshund, who had suddenly turned into a rare 16-legged octopus when I first tried to put it on her. She helpfully does that with everything. But she finally realized I intended to persist, so she let me put it on her once, and all of a sudden that little missy changed her mind! It stabilized her back without casting so her twisting injury could heal. She wore it in the daytime for about two months, and one morning I noticed that her spine was straight, her walking was normal, and she wasn't in any pain whatsoever (she's prone to let me know that, thank goodness). I hope and pray we never have to use this again, but I'm definitely glad to have it on hand and paw, and I'm so, so thankful that this simple solution gave my Andi the help and healing she needed.
I would recommend this for anyone with a dog with back problems, anything from a simple twisting injury to IVDD. It works for most dog breeds, as far as I can tell. If my doxie had IVDD and surgery had been recommended, I would definitely try this for a few weeks before doing that unless my dog was in pain.
