Degenerative Myelopathy

BullBauld · 2021-05-11 15:50:43

Anyone any experience of the above? My dog was recently diagnosed with it. Well an MRI more or less ruled out disc issues so everything pointing in the Myelopathy direction. No treatment or cure unfortunately. Just hope he doesn't deteriorate too quickly.

I worked with a large GSD who had it, she lived until she was 12, it didn't impact her life too much other than not being able to go on big walks!

I had a dog with it, she was diagnosed at 9 years old and we had to put her to sleep at 12, she was fine for the majority of those 3 years but when she went downhill she went downhill fast, luckily she was never in any pain.
