By Caroline Coile Many short-legged dogs suffer from herniated spinal discs, in which the disc ruptures and compresses or injures the spinal cord. This acute condition can lead to rear-end paralysis and incontinence. Conservative treatment is usually with strict cage rest, pain medication and physical therapy. If that doesn’t work, surgery to remove the disc is [...]

Too big to fail, that remark has become so ubiquitous–well at least since 2008–that it really has morphed into a running joke. Bear Stearns? Ha Ha! But at least from a purebred perspective, it retains some relevance. Some breeds truly are too big to fail.
