Treatment methods for lumbar spinal nerve compression in dogs:

1. The most direct treatment method is to use surgery to polish the lumbar spine at the compressed position and remove the protruding lumbar spine. The area is cleaned and smoothed so that the nerve is not compressed and the nerve can resume normal function.

2. The conservative treatment method is to use acupuncture and oral medications containing methylcobalamin to protect the nerves.

3. Use drugs to stimulate the affected area and acupoints. Common drugs include Di Lai, Angelicae Sinensis, Guning, closed anti-inflammatory needles, etc. Acutely ill dogs can stand within a week after treatment, while chronically ill dogs recover more slowly, generally taking one month to a year.

4. No matter which method is chosen for treatment, during the treatment process, the dog needs to be well cared for and massaged frequently to relieve the dog's discomfort.

5. For dogs with lumbar spine diseases, the amount of exercise must be controlled, and strenuous exercise, such as going up and down stairs frequently, must be avoided.
