My GSD is starting to drag his right rear foot.
I have reduced his weight and put him on D3 and B12. Daily short walks and ball play.
He has actually improved.
Going to try lions mane.
Started extra brushing and finger/spine therapy.
He knows.
I can tell that the sensation in his right rear leg is like when our limbs "fall asleep" due to lack of circulation or neuro blockage
did you have to put your dog down?
Thank you for elaborating on this disease in such awesome detail and breaking down the stages. I cant believe how fast this has progressed with our 14 year old Shih Tzu, Princess Maya Marie. To my disbelief, Maya was already in stage 3 when they diagnosed her but that was yesterday (Jan 4th 2024). Six days ago; Saturday Dec. 30th 2023 Princess Maya unexpectedly very suddenly started having issues walking and keeping balance. Also, Maya would fall over every time she did the "dry doggy shake" (like she's shaking off water.) I did not understand what stage our girl was but your video cleared that right up. Maya is at the fecal defecit stage so considering how fast this has progressed for her I do not think she is going to make it until monday when she sees the vet agian. Thank you Dr. John & Veterinary Teaching Academy.
Have you ever seen a dog lose use of his hind limbs for a couple of days and then start using them again? Has the incontinence, drooped tail and has had a wobbly gait for several months. Does it progress like this at all?
Is the down tail always present? My vet is certain Griffin has DM and everything else seems to fit the picture but his tail still goes up when he smells a fox or a squirrel.
Are young dogs affected degenerative myelopathy?
Check out videos by : Veterinary Secrets / Lions' Mane Mushrooms vs. Degenerative Myelopathy video #2..from 1 year ago / away to repair damaged nerves and protect other nerves from damages,#1 is 8 yrs/ is what dogs nervous system is going through. Good luck and God Bless your and your pets.
This isn’t totally true what he’s saying, DM is extremely hard to diagnose visually and a lot of the symptoms he’s talking about are commonly mistaken for other diseases. Be aware.
Has anyone else experienced a lot of panting as he mentioned?
Yes, most definitely. Our boy did a lot of panting.
@@erinblythe7497 thank you!!! Any chance you noticed it WAY before discovering it was DM? Did it get worse as he progressed in stages? If I'm asking too much or it's bothersome... I totally understand. I honestly have been thrown to the wolves in all the years I brought my shepherd in for questioning
@@ke2159 No it was not the first signs. Zac's first signs were back leg weakness, he was happy enough for over a year. The panting was in the end. That and pacing and then he would fall over. It progressed fast in the end. The vet said he had something wrong with his lungs and was due for xray on the Monday. We made the decision a week ago on Saturday to give him some peace and have him put to sleep. Couldn't put him through any more distress. He was a Huntaway/Lab cross so one of the breeds susceptible. Hope this helps.
