Available Now Bio Meet Remington, Remington is a male dog who has been diagnosed with spondylosis along the lumbar spine and lumbosacral spondylosis. He also has a growth on his left tarsus (ankle). These conditions require further veterinary evaluation to determine the significance of the spinal changes and the nature of the growth. Remington may require additional diagnostic testing, ongoing monitoring, and appropriate treatment to manage potential discomfort and maintain his mobility and quality of life.
