We just heard that Grey's brother, Gunner, is now home at last. He was sent home on morphine patches to manage his pain and the vet thinks he has diskospondylitis (also spelt discopondylitis). I don't know much about this condition yet, just starting to look into it now. I found a pdf paper on it. On wikipedia it refers to it being linked to Brucellosis in dogs that can be screened for in a breeding programme. I'll post more as I dig more out.
