4:54 PM Medication Therapy for Degenerative Myelopathy in Welsh Corgis |
Degenerative Myelopathy (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. If your Welsh Corgi has been diagnosed with DM then you may want to schedule a time to talk to your vet about alternative medications and treatment methods. There is no cure for DM, but therapeutic exercises, medications and other treatment can possibly help 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 veterinarians Glendale, AZ about prescribing these for your dog along with prescribing therapeutic treatment sessions. |
