This site is a record of our experiences treating my Great Dane Mickey for Wobbler Syndrome (cervical vertebral instability) and Spondylosis (spinal arthritis) with Gold Bead Implants. The procedure was performed by Dr. Terry Durkes at Western Animal Hospital in Marion, IN. I have included pictures of the implant sites, and Mickey's neck wrap.

By helping animals, I am also mattering to the families they live with. And best of all, I’m doing it all at the greatest radio station on earth.”

- Gentle Giant News - A site about the horrifying adoption experiences that people have had with Gentle Giants Rescue in Norco, CA. Read how Burt and Tracy Ward have duped hundreds of unsuspecting adopters with their outlandish claims. The Wards have operated their "rescue" as a business to support their expensive lives, and mistreated the animals in their care.

It's so wonderful that Dr. Durkes was able to identify the back problem along with the wobblers, that is just fantastic! I imagine with all the gold along his back, the procedure cost you a pretty penny- I'm guessing maybe twice the average neck-only procedure. Worth every red cent, though! Mick looks great and I'm sure he'll come around in no time. With his pigment-less hair I'd guess it'll grow back in faster than a colored dane's hair coat. So glad all went well and you can go home now!
Kisses to Mr. Mickerson!
I am so happy that things went so well. He looks like he continues to recover nicely. That duck sure does look comfy!!!! Paws crossed Mickey!!!
