If your Dalmatian (or Dalmatian) has been diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) then you may want to talk to your vet more in depth about treatment, medication and long-term care. In general, DM is an incurable disease of the nerves and spinal cord, which can cause loss of mobility and numbness or loss of feeling in the legs. It’s important to understand that there is no cure for DM and that therapeutic exercises, medications and other treatments are provided in an effort to slow the progression of the disease and prolong quality of life. Drugs that are available to help slow the onset of DM include N-Acetylcysteine (an antioxidant), Aminocaproic acid (inhibits the breakdown of fibrin needed for blood clots), Antiox-Q (vitamins and minerals to help the nervous system), and Antiox-QCB (like Antiox-Q but also contains an anti-inflammatory). Talk to your veterinarian Bee Cave, TX about prescribing these for your dog. Schedule an appointment today!
