ABOUT DEGENERATIVE MYELOPATHY (DM)
DM is often called the CANINE VERSION OF ALS (LOU GEHRIGS DISEASE). Its a progressive, genetic disease affecting the spinal cord and over 100 dog breeds (& mixed breeds now too). Symptoms usually appear between ages 8-14, starting with ONE hind-leg weakness & loss of coordination, eventually leading to full paralysis, incontinence, organ failure, and respiratory failure all while their mind is still fully aware.
THE TRAGEDY?
* Many vets still dont know about DM
* Its often misdiagnosed
* Its entirely PREVENTABLE with genetic testing
DM is on the rise - NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP FOR THE PUPS!
