Vet-Formulated Supplement of Medicinal Mushrooms for Dogs
We often work with dogs who have degenerative myelopathy, a disease that is difficult to treat and very sad to see. However, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, rehabilitative therapies, as well as herbal supplements, and diet can slow the progression of the disease.
The cause is unknown, but it is thought to be inherited.
Degenerative myelopathy in dogs is a slowly progressive, non-inflammatory degeneration of the white matter of the spinal cord. We frequently see this in boxers and German Shepherds, but other breeds can be affected as well. The cause is unknown, but it is thought to be inherited.
Most dogs affected with this disease are older than 5 years old, and present with a nonuncomfortable weakness in the hindquarter. Diagnostics for weakness include x-rays, and blood work ruling out other causes of lameness such as orthopedic, metabolic, or endocrine disease. A CT scan or MRI may also be done to rule out other causes of spinal dysfunction including a spinal cord tumor or ruptured intervertebral disc. There is a blood test that tells us if the patient has the gene for the disease, and if the clinical signs fit, then it is likely that my patient has degenerative myelopathy.
Clinical signs of the disease vary depending on the stage of the disease. Early stages include weakness in the rear, progressing to urinary and fecal incontinence, then complete paralysis of the hind end. Depression and anxiety are also seen in this disease in the later stages.
A personalized treatment plan is important to slow the progression of DM and maintain a good quality of life. My protocol for degenerative myelopathy treatment includes physical therapy with an underwater treadmill to keep the hind muscles intact. Acupuncture is used to stimulate the nerves and relieve any discomfort. Spinal manipulation is also used to relieve any discomfort. I prescribe supplements including Antioxidants, vitamin E, B, and D, as well as N- Acetylcysteine to help. Immune therapy with NHV is also recommended; 3 NHV supplements we would recommend are Natures Immuno, Turmeric, and Milk Thistle. A balanced home cook diet high in protein is also recommended.
Unfortunately, most patients with DM end up in wheel carts for mobility but the goal is to give them a good quality of life.
If your dog or cat is suffering from degenerative myelopathy, please feel free to book an online consultation with us, and together we can come up with a holistic treatment plan.
