Are you familiar with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)? It is a non curable disease that affects a dog’s mobility. The disease specifically affects the spinal cord and nerves of dogs. Loss of mobility and numbness or loss of feeling in the legs is most common. This can happen to dogs of different breeds and ages. Although there is no cure for this disease, there are ways to treat it early on and prolong a dog’s quality of life. For example, German Shepherds commonly develop DM. Some owners of German Shepherds, knowing this could happen in the future, start their dogs early on with diet, exercise, medication and other supportive means to help keep their dog mobile longer. Water therapy early on can help strengthen muscles. Talk with your vet clinic Savannah, GA to find out what you can do to help keep your dog healthy and comfortable as long as possible.
