Mvons · **Jumping down hurt -** 02-15-2007, 12:54 PM

How dog got a herniated disc when she jumped down off a chair at age 13. She had a sprained hip/leg at age 4 months when she jumped off a 3 stair porch...my husband didn't believe she could squeeze under the lowest railing. She recovered from both but was stiff her last year...15!

Thus she was never hurt jumping up, only jumping down. 4 inches is nothing because she handled the 4 inch drop from our deck edge to the ground until she was ill.
