Early Treatment for DM in Dachshunds

Although there is no cure for DM or Degenerative Myelopathy, owners of various dog breeds prone to DM development have found several treatments prior to a DM diagnosis to be effective in prolonging their dog’s mobility once DM has developed. Talk to your vet to learn ways to help prepare your Dachshund should he develop DM. For instance, some German Shepherd and Boxer owners have found that exercise, diet, medication and other supportive means beginning at an early age can help prolong mobility for their dog in his later years whether he develops DM or not. Because DM is an autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system, some vets have recommended (if possible in your region) to avoid standard heartworm and flea prevention as these increase immune responsiveness. Talk to your veterinarians Westlake Village CA to learn more about DM and what you can do for your pup.
