Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE) sounds like a hopeless diagnosis. But as Dr. Buzby reveals in this episode, a spinal stroke (the layman term for FCE) doesn’t necessarily mean a long-term negative outcome for your dog.

After listening to the podcast, please read Spinal Stroke in Dogs: How Love and ToeGrips Helped Ozzy Recover. In addition to learning more about FCE, Dr. Buzby shares the heartwarming true story of a senior dog’s recovery from a spinal stroke.

    Great Podcast. Gave me much hope. My 2 year old German Shepherd unfortunately suffered from FCEM approximately 4 months ago. Although he has come a long way, he still has a bit of weakness in his right hind leg and drags it a bit. Hopefully with the passing of time he will make a full recovery. Thanks Dr. Buzby for this sweet and informative podcast !!

      Hi Ramin,
      You are welcome! I’m so happy that the podcast was helpful as you navigated a FCEM with your dog. I’m glad he is doing better and hope that he will be back to his old self soon. Thanks for the kind words. ❤
