TO PREVENT IVDD use only a harness Avoid all Tug-a-war games Avoid jumping from furniture (sofa, bed) Avoid stairs. Avoid any injury. Pick up from below the body never by arms. Let them sleep on memory foam mattress, latex or talalay To avoid spine pressure while sleeping As soon as you see any signs of IVDD Immediately see a Vet -OR- crate them for 6+ weeks. Only let out to do business. They also have a back brace that can be worn during this time. If in pain have vet examine your dog. The vet may prescribe steroids prednisone, Gabapentin or a muscle relaxer. Do not rush to euthanize your dog please get A 2nd and even a 3rd opinion. Your dog looks great. Thank you for all the information.
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you found it helpful. We have taken a proactive approach to preventing joint and IVDD concerns in our Frenchie since she was 2 years old. It includes many of the things you mention, plus exercise, and targeted supplementation. I honestly believe all of the preventative measures that we took the past 6 years have contributed to the fact that her IVDD injury was very mild and non-surgical. A lot of people think there's no way to prevent IVDD, but in fact there is so much that can be done to help prevent IVDD and help reduce the risk of surgery.
@@PAWDEGA you’re very welcome. I saw one video by a veterinarian that said even if we shield them in a plastic bubble they can still get it. I hope that’s now true. I agree with you preventive measurements must be exercised.
Your list is good advice but it does not "prevent IVDD" in breeds that have genes that result in weak connective tissues that form the discs. These measures will delay acute injury but will not prevent the ongoing degradation of the discs with aging. Not trying to be negative but just want owners to have the information they need to make the tough financial/medical decisions down the road. For example, all toy sized dogs should be trained not to jump off the bed as even dogs without these genes can be acutely injured. I would add the following to the list for healthy disc and joints for all dogs: 1) Do not de-sex your dog or at least delay it by 3 years. (much more difficult to leave a female dog intact so usually best to delay de-sexing but male dogs can be left intact-- All the bad things we have been told about intact male dogs are exaggerated and/or propaganda by the AVMA). De-sexing causes and/or exacerbates joint and skeletal problems. 2) Do not feed kibble-- Kibble is not species appropriate and will condemn your dog to poor health down the road. Feed a human grade, high protein, balanced raw or gently cooked fresh diet. 3) Walk your dog with a harness daily so that all his joints and discs get oxygenated blood flow and his muscles stay toned. 4) Research the breeder before buying a puppy. Easier said than done. Try to get references so you can talk with owners who have dogs from the breeder to try to determine if the adults have genetically caused health problems. 5) Absolutely give supplements that provide the building blocks for healthy joints and don't wait until your dog is a senior. A raw, prey model diet already supplies all this nutrition but it does not hurt to boost. Certainly a kibble fed dog is nutrient deficient. VetriScience "Disc" is a really great supplement in addition to the supplements recommended in this video.
@@treasuretrovel3816 in dogs that it’s genetic it will continue to keep happening even after surgery or multiple surgeries. That’s the sad truth. Unfortunately, there is no definitive long term treatment for dogs predisposed to genetic IVDD.
my mini doxie was just diagnosed with herniated disc she is 3 1/2 years old. She is having those exact episodes “shaking/muscle spasms” like your frenchie. I agree, its extremely scary to see them in pain and shaking. my dog was put on pain meds and muscle relaxers but i feel they are taking forever to alleviate her symptoms. I will look into the physiotherapy and supplements thank you for this vid, seeing your dog advance in his recovery gives me hope for the my dog. blessings🙏
Aww thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. I'm so sorry to hear your dog is going through this as well. I hope your dog will feel better very soon!
I am using an acupuncturist twice a week and a chiropractor once a week to help my Doxie. The acupuncture seems to make her much more comfortable. Best wishes ❤
@@aprileaton9025 I Love that you're doing acupuncture and seeing a chiropractor! I wish we had access to this type of support. Wishing your pup lots of health and wellness 😃
Omg my frenchie just had IVDD surgery - the pain he went through was unbearable and i literally have PTSD, as the pain and cries he was in was bringing me to tears. We took him to a neurologist in Miami & MRI confirmed it was a slipped disk. Post opp 2 weeks but he’s now going through the heavy medication withdrawal. Very scary but it seems like you’re on the road to recovery. The pain still haunts me to this day & I never want to go through that again. Hugs to ur sweet pup ❤ & she’s lucky to have such caring parents!! Yes, no jumping and rough play any longer.
My 3 year old frenchie/baby started shaking and not moving 2 nights ago. Took her yesterday to vet and yes they said possible spinal injury and gave her dex shot/gabapentin/prednisone and said bed rest and only out to pee. Follow up is Friday. I am devastated and have this sad depressing feeling all day. I’m doing everything I can. He walks very slow and wants to sleep with me in bed. Makes me really sad. Hope he gets over this. Took her immediately.
I really hope she’s still doing well today. Your video was suggested to me, I made a video on our dogs passing from IVDD. One thing I want to say is our dog first showed signs of IVDD I believe at 1 years old, he would recover and be fine for a long time and then go through another pain/shaking thing so long later. I’m sure you’re being super careful with her but I just want to say that you shouldn’t advertise that she is healed or that these methods would heal the damage already done inside. I do know that some dogs experience the symptoms and then never do again which is awesome and I hope that’s your situation. I just want people to know who could be watching this that they can seem fine for a long time and then it can happen again, as did with my boy who passed at 3 years old.
I'm so sorry to hear your dog passed away! This is so heartbreaking! Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's been almost 2 years since the incident and Milka is doing amazing. This video is not treatment advice, it is a documentation of our journey. We have not had any relapses, thankfully. However, you are definitely right in saying that things could happen again in the future. We are continuing with all our preventative measures, holistic supplements, red light therapy, exercises, behavior corrections, etc. It's a journey indeed, but we know we are doing everything we can to help prevent another injury. I wish you all the very best, and thank you so much for sharing!
@@PAWDEGA Thank you, I know you are. It’s very apart how much love in care you’re pouring into her. Much more than most would honestly. I’m so glad to hear she’s still doing well. I only left my comment as more of a cautionary tale for others who may happen across my comment. All the best to you and Milka. 🙏🏼❤️❤️
My pup doesn’t have IVDD, but I just found out yesterday that she very likely will develop it. She’s a Shi tzu poodle mix with a very long body and very short legs. When I found out about IVDD I immediately ordered her a harness, and now I’m looking into other preventative gear as well. I’m so scared of my dog developing this condition
Thank you so much for sharing. There is definitely so much that can be done to help prevent IVDD from happening. French Bulldogs are also very prone to IVDD, however, we have been able to prevent this for the past 7 years, and when she did have her injury, it was very mild. I definitely think it's because of all the preventative measures we took the past years. Here are some of the aspects that worked well for us: - We make sure she gets lots of joint-friendly exercise - Keeping our dog at perfect weight where we can easily feel her ribs - No jumping - Preventative natural supplements: pawdega.us/products/joint-support-bundle-standard - Feed Bone Broth - Feeding a low-inflammatory, raw meat diet - Using the correct harness You can also start Red Light Therapy to help prevent IVDD. This is the device that we use now: shop.photonichealth.com/collections/essential-line-pad-system/products/essential-line-essential-pad?ref=ivV7b9zn3wMB_S Wishing you and your dog all the best!
Me too. Very scary experience. I took mine to a neurologist in Miami and they recommended bed rest and medicated him for 6 weeks because he is at a level 1 for IVDD. I’m praying and hoping to keep him from having to have surgery one day.
@Franbotplays & @_kyleluis we are so sorry to hear this! I hope your Frenchies feel better very soon! I know how scary it is to go through this! Wishing you all the best! Stay strong!
I love these kind of videos BUT EVERY Frenchie Owner should do their own research. I was really wanting to go the NO SURGERY ROUTE but my gut kept telling me to at least get the MRI done for my pup. Thank god I did! They found a burst vessel in her spine which could've been deadly without surgical internvention. While I am aware that recovering without IVDD surgery is possible always do your research and do what you believe is the right thing for you pupper. But please remember that bringing your furbaby back home with no surgery is a big risk as they can potentially lose their lives. I say this with good intentions
We don’t have the diagnosis yet just the vet’s first thoughts that my maltipoo have IVDD. He can still walk but one of his legs is dragging. From my research this is about a stage 2 of this condition so I am going to definitely buy and try as much of the supplements that you suggests thsg I can. And I pray he can make a full recovery as well❤
Hey Chantelle, thanks for your comment. I hope the information in the video is able to provide some relief and support for your pup. Wishing him lots of strength and wellness.
@@HeroicTurkey yep! We have been using the red light therapy, their jump for joints and elk power also made some of the homemade tumeric paste (they have a video on how to do it). Also he was on strict bed rest for at least a week. I really try to get him not to walk on it but it can be hard. But he has made such a large turnaround. I still pick him up to get on my bed or to go up the stairs. Sometimes I miss him doing it but 90% of the time I do. He can jump, walk, go down stairs and up stairs he still has a little trouble fully standing like he used to but I’m positive about him recovering to that point! Their products and what they suggest are awesome! I’m glad I came across their channel
My dog has just been diagnosed with ivdd, inflammation on his knee that come later on be medial patella luxation and he also has secondary stifle osteoarthritis, my dog needs to keep moving to help with the osteoarthritis but I’m afraid if he lives a lot it can worsen his ivdd, I asked the vet other than surgery, what can I do to prevent it from getting worse, he didn’t say meds nor crate rest, he only mentioned to let let my dog up and down stairs and prevent him from standing on his back legs ( I only went to the vet because my dog wound go up stairs normally and wouldn’t stand on his bag legs as often) he didn’t say anything about crate rest nor medications. And I’m so afraid it can get worse, the vet recommended labrela injections for his osteoarthritis, which I was thinking of going thru, until I read some comments on RUclips videos of how it has made their dog pass away or become deaf, and I’m very very scared, I don’t know what to do, I feel stuck.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs diagnosis! Thank you so much for sharing! I know exactly what it feels like to worry about our dog's health and future. It's so difficult! There is a lot we can do to support our dog's joint health and help slow joint concerns from progressing. I would have a look at diet, making sure to feed a low-inflammatory diet such as raw or freeze-dried raw. This is what we feed our dog currently: pawdega.us/collections/freeze-dried-raw Then I would focus on anti-inflammatory supplements and joint health supplements. I recommend this bundle which is also what we use: pawdega.us/products/joint-support-premium Additionally, if you can, have a look at red light therapy. We have a RUclips video about this which you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/aq_Mge4KyuE/видео.html and we use this red light therapy device for our own dog to support joint health: shop.photonichealth.com/collections/essential-line-pad-system/products/essential-line-essential-pad?ref=ivV7b9zn3wMB_S Let me know if you have any questions! I wish you and your pup lots of health and hope he feels better soon. 💚
Did you re-image her or do an MRI to see if there was visible improvement in the discs or you are just saying she has recovered enough that she isn’t symptomatic with all these modalities used? I guess I was thinking some repair or regeneration occurred but I guess I misunderstood the email. Glad she has improved.❤
We never did any MRIs because by the time we got to the vet she was already walking and the vet did not think it was necessary. We always want to avoid sedating her, so we did not want to do the MRI if it wasn't necessary. She has not had any IVDD flare ups since that first initial injury and it's been over 1.5 years. We are very consistent with her natural supplements and red light therapy to help prevent injuries. We are very thankful she is doing so well.
Our frenchie is 1 year and 4 months ☹️ and this is the exact same thing that’s she is going through. Shaking and the scream and is not herself we are hoping to see the vet today I hope it’s just from her not being able to use the bathroom
The same thing happened to my Frenchie on Sunday. She lost motion of all her legs 😞. She was in bad pain for like two days. The vet told me it was her disc and will require surgery. Honestly it's too expensive for me as they are asking for 15k. Today she was much better. She ate, she cant move but she was able to do her needs on her own. Saw my other dog playing with a toy and started hating so thats a good sign lol. Honestly I'm going to give her time to heal. (Highly recommend buying a dog crate so they wont move) and see how she does. Today gave me hope. How's your dog doing?
@@erickmoran8134 I'm sorry to hear about this, but I am happy that you already see improvement after a few days. I understand the desire to 'wait and see'. However, if I may suggest something? Right now is the best time to start doing a few natural things to support the healing journey naturally. If you want to have the best chance of preventing a surgery, then we have to actively support our dogs in their healing journey rather than sit and wait. Actively supporting the healing journey will look different for everyone. For us, it was a multi-faceted approach including all the things mentioned in the video. However, you can also start with some natural joint-supporting supplements, CBD, or natural anti-inflammatories. We created an IVDD support bundle (pawdega.us/products/ivdd-bundle) to support pet parents in their natural support, but you can also select the ones that best fit your dog and your budget. Let me know if you have any questions. For our dog, the Injury was over a year ago, and she has not had a relapse. She is healthy and agile. I wish you and your dog the absolute best and hope she recovers soon.
I’m sorry to hear that I hope ur frenchie makes a full recovery! We started giving her -under the weather disc and spine soft chews for dogs. She is 100% normal again but we are tightening up on her jumping as much as possible! We give her 2 every morning and she has been a lot better!
My Frenchie is going through this right now after him playing with my other Frenchie i believe it was a bad landing from a jump. wish i could afford all this, i have some natural remedies but nothing like this 😥
I'm so sorry to hear! I hope your Frenchie is feeling better very soon. We all do the best we can, so if you can only use a few of the mentioned products, or other natural remedies, that is amazing support.
No medicine? They are still in pain and inflammation! I am using some medication and cbd drops for dogs. I just don’t want my puppers in pain. They say to keep them limited movement for 8 weeks, were you worried that rushing the walking would cause more damage? I’m just curious…. We all want to do the right thing… 😢
We used lots of natural remedies to help reduce pain and inflammation. This is what worked for us, and our dog was not in visible pain after the initial injury. It always depends on the individual case. Our physiotherapist advised that she was healing rapidly and ready for walks early. I think the red light therapy at home also helped a lot to speed things up.
Just a quick question It looks like some of these supplements have the same stuff in them to treat IVDD is it necessary to buy all ? If needed I will purchase all just wondering. Thanks
Hey Chris, Thanks for your comment. I believe the only similar products recommended here are Jump for JOYnts and Your Go 2. Jump for JOYnts is more for long term use, while Your Go 2 is to help immediate concerns such as shock, trauma, or injury and great to have for emergency situations. If you could go for all, I believe these would very beneficial.

Care giver for an 11 1/2 year old Great Dane "MINI" She has Spondylosis/ Spinal Stenosis/OA. She has always been hyperactive. My biggest problem now is to keep her from going Jiggy on me and re injuring her self. Jiggy -- you know the classic Great Dane Happy Dance. Right now she is lame on the right rear -- it appears to be neurological -- appears to be sciatica. She went gone down recently with what appeared to be a muscle spasm. Huge lump formed quickly and went away as fast! So now her butt is in a sling. I have removed the prong collar and am using a halter so I have two handles to lift or control her. A whole new way of walking! Mini had a bout with bladder stones and was on a Struvite control diet and now maintenance diet for well over six months. Those diets reduce or eliminate magnesium. I just got some magnesium today on a hunch and some Arnica! Anyway, I really appreciate your approach and value the information you provided. Thanks Kristine & Mini
Aww thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm so sorry to hear the difficulties she is going through. I hope she is doing much better already today. Alongside natural supportive supplements, have you considered red light therapy? I think it has helped our dog a lot and we continue to do it at home in order to prevent future injuries.

Hi my fur baby is experiencing the same thing. What supplements do u highly recommend from the list that I could give him atm. I could spend a good amount but I can’t buy everything unfortunately
Oh I'm so sorry to hear your fur baby is going through this too! I'm glad you found our channel and found this video helpful. You can find our IVDD Support Bundle here: pawdega.us/products/ivdd-bundle If I had to prioritize, I would prioritize as per the following priority (starting with the highest priotity): Jump for Joynts, EASE, Herbaprin, Inflapotion, Elk Antler Powder, Gut Soothe, Healthy Hip & Joint, Your Go 2. I hope this helps and I wish you and your pup all the very best! Please let us know if you have any questions.
Hi Guys. Do you have any experience with myelopathy? I would appreciate if you guys could share your thoughts on that. I have a chihuahua and he just got diagnosed with that and I’m trying to find some info. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I know crate is recommended but my frenchy has never been in a crate. Currently just on floor with many blankets and he doesn’t go anywhere unless I take him out to pee. Possible spinal injury two nights ago. He’s eating drinking well, walks slowly and kind of lifts left hind leg. On meds and bed rest of course. I hope I’m doing the right thing. Any links to your products?
So sorry to hear about your Frenchie's injury. I hope he feels better very soon. Our Frenchie was also on bed rest as described in the video, however we did not use a crate. We got 3 pieces of movable (non-stationary) wooden gates and wherever she was resting, we would barricade her with the gates to reduce her moving. Perhaps that is an option for you too. Here is a link to all the supplements we used for our Frenchies natural recovery: pawdega.us/products/ivdd-bundle Wishing you all. the best!
My pup is currently experiencing this. I wasn’t sure what was happening so I took her to the emergency vet hospital. They recommended I take her to a neurologist or put her down. It wasn’t her regular vet because they weren’t able to see her. They did give her steroids and pain meds. She never yelled out in pain but I could definitely tell she is in pain. What do you recommend I start her on right now? I would have to order the products you are using but I don’t really want to give her pain meds and steroids right now although they seem to help. I just know a lot of the medication isn’t good to give them just like it isn’t good for us to take.
I'm so sorry to hear your dog has had to go through this! I know how scary this is for both of you and I'm so shocked to hear about the feedback from the vet. I hope you'll be able to see your regular vet very soon, to get a second opinion. I would honestly recommend to start using all the supplements and remedies that we've talked about in this video as soon as possible. This is exactly what we did, and we had amazing results.

I just love both of you in the name of God I have been gathering information from your videos I cry because I have seen my Yorkie suffer for so long. I have tried many things, but my holistic vet die last.year and I am lost. My Yorkie Was born with a completely damaged hip dysplasia, so only 3 legs from birth Last year, we found out 6 disk are damaged, and my vet was doing therapy and supplements he made specifically for him He was born with a narrow throat. The neck shows in the x-ray that it was not form right either But if you see my Yorkie, he is Shakes went he has bad days But it just getting worse And I hate it My vet is no longer here to help him. we live in a small town in texas kilgore, texas, and nothing but regular vets Thank you. I will try these supplements, but I worried about the liver at the same time he is 4 pounds full of love Eats healthy primal for many years and raw other good brands, so he is healthy My vet never gave him shots Nothing, but we live in texas I rescue 72 cats from the streets, spayed neuter, and find them homes, but I think it is time for me to dedicate my full time with my baby I suffered an accident in 2015. My left foot completely cut off reattach but with horrible pain And 11 surgeries with no success, so I am terrified of surgeries for my baby never So thank you again and pray for my baby to continue using his 3 legs, but I am prepared To buy him a wheelchair, I will not see him suffer I stopped my treatment since he got worse I live my life for him because of him. I haven't given up in life Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for getting in touch with us about this. I know how important it is to ensure your dog does not consume any products that could interact with the medication you are giving. The wonderful thing about the products that have been recommended is that they are truly natural, very gentle, and yet so effective. Since they don’t contain any synthetics or filler ingredients, they are recognized by the body as nutrition, and generally speaking, our products can be used with most medications. However, for liability reasons, I won’t be able to give a definitive answer regarding the specific medication your pet is on or may take. You can refer to the full ingredient list of the products on our product pages to determine if they are safe for your dog to use. If you have any concerns, I highly recommend consulting with a holistic veterinarian for guidance on combining medication with supplements.

So sorry to hear! Have you tried Bone Broth? Bone Broth is a great way to provide liquid to our dogs, PLUS it actually helps enhance joint health too. Since it tastes like meat, many dogs will drink the bone broth even if they refuse water. You can make bone broth at home. Here is a Free recipe: ruclips.net/video/Sr0c-0TZLVU/видео.html
Hi, My German Shepherd is 13 yrs old and he can't stand his front legs are working and his rear legs are working but he cant stand so we did x rays and found he has Degenerative Disc disease. So on my dog will the physiotherapist work? Anyone if know anything plz tell before it gets to late.🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I'm so sorry to hear! I definitely recommend speaking to a physiotherapist to see if they can help your dog's situation. Having a look at hydrotherapy would also be really beneficial, since it's great exercise easy on the joints. Definitely have a look into red light therapy which can help reduce pain and inflammation.

💠💠I do know the prescription meds are toxic to the liver and kidneys so I am looking into these products. 💠💠 Does your dog use any type of orthopedic dog bed or cot? I have a German Shepherd with IVDD. She started having paralysis in hind legs 2 weeks ago. She has improved mobility in back right and wants to potty alone. Good dog food is important. I use a mix of freeze dried raw and I boil a lot of organic chicken and turkey mixed with plain Organic rice and I make a bone broth.
Yes we do have an orthopedic dog bed for her as well. The supplements we've mentioned in this video will be a great addition to your dog's support. Have you tried red light therapy for your Shepherd? I think it helped our dog and we still use it to help prevent injuries in the future. We got this one: bit.ly/Essentialbackpad
Thanks for your comment. Noone is suggesting not to seek medical attention. Obviously, if there is something wrong with a dog, the vet should be visited. If you watched the full video, you know that we addressed our dog's IVDD naturally under the guidance of our vet.
Thanks! If you had listened to the whole video, you would have known that our dog was on strict bedrest for 2 weeks and on very limited and short walks after the 2 weeks, with the permission of our physiotherapist.
Would you consider adding hyaluronic acid, glucosamine chondroitin and colostrum to your supplement plan to speed recovery, reduce inflammation, and increase synovial fluid in the joints.
Hey Ray, thanks for your message. This is a great question. Our dog gets HA, Glucosamine, condroitin, and collagen mostly through her raw food diet and bone broth. We also feed her Bovine Trachea by Dr Rons which also a great source of the above nutrients. It's a human supplement but I do feed to my dog 😀 lddy.no/1hz7o We personally don't feed colostrum for ethical reasons, although there are a lot of amazing benefits to it. I believe all this would help if you're able to source them from wholefood sources rather synthetic.
I'm so sorry to hear your dog is paralyzed! Have you gotten in touch with a physiotherapist for treatment? I recommend starting with a physiotherapist and of course, talking to your trusted vet about your dog's individual case. You can also start using the supplements and remedies that we've talked about in this video as soon as possible. Our dog was not paralyzed, but we had amazing results with these natural solutions.

Homeopathy is literally just water. Dont listen to this shit. Take your dog to the vet and follow the guidance of your vet. Your dog needs muscle relaxers and neurological meds.

I have to say I agree with that. Each case is individual in its severity. I don't think this type of treatment, without meds and possible surgery, would work for a more advanced injury.
Thank you so much for your comment @hairslayer2638 @cfrates2703 This is our personal experience and healing journey. We are sharing our experience; this is not a treatment suggestion or substitute for veterinary advice. There are different stages of IVDD. Not every IVDD case involves a paralyzed dog. We have been taking a preventative approach to IVDD for over 4 years through diet, supplements, exercise, and more. We are convinced that this preventative approach is the reason why our dog's injury was not as bad as it could have been. We wish your dogs all the best of health.
My dog is a black Labrador and he got waist paralyzed down one morning out of the blue and cried so loud if we moved him even bit me and he has never bitten anyone in his life, and doctors told me he won’t walk again and not sure if he will make it and we tried the medicine and he recovered but not until years later today, we got a puppy and they played a lot and rough and he started the symptoms very slow same as their Frenchie symptoms and worse over the days. Yes it is a true spinal injury. I rather have this stage where I know there is time to help my baby than to wake up with him paralyzed waist down, this is a true spinal injury, paralyzed or not . So yes have hope people.. because my dog was saved first time and this time I have hope he will again. In the name of Jesus amen
What is your experience with IVDD? Comment below
TO PREVENT IVDD
use only a harness
Avoid all Tug-a-war games
Avoid jumping from furniture (sofa, bed)
Avoid stairs.
Avoid any injury.
Pick up from below the body never by arms.
Let them sleep on memory foam mattress, latex or talalay
To avoid spine pressure while sleeping
As soon as you see any signs of IVDD
Immediately see a Vet -OR- crate them for 6+ weeks. Only let out to do business.
They also have a back brace that can be worn during this time.
If in pain have vet examine your dog. The vet may prescribe steroids prednisone,
Gabapentin or a muscle relaxer. Do not rush to euthanize your dog please get
A 2nd and even a 3rd opinion.
Your dog looks great. Thank you for all the information.
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you found it helpful. We have taken a proactive approach to preventing joint and IVDD concerns in our Frenchie since she was 2 years old. It includes many of the things you mention, plus exercise, and targeted supplementation. I honestly believe all of the preventative measures that we took the past 6 years have contributed to the fact that her IVDD injury was very mild and non-surgical. A lot of people think there's no way to prevent IVDD, but in fact there is so much that can be done to help prevent IVDD and help reduce the risk of surgery.
@@PAWDEGA you’re very welcome. I saw one video by a veterinarian that said even if we shield them in a plastic bubble they can still get it. I hope that’s now true. I agree with you preventive measurements must be exercised.
Your list is good advice but it does not "prevent IVDD" in breeds that have genes that result in weak connective tissues that form the discs. These measures will delay acute injury but will not prevent the ongoing degradation of the discs with aging. Not trying to be negative but just want owners to have the information they need to make the tough financial/medical decisions down the road.
For example, all toy sized dogs should be trained not to jump off the bed as even dogs without these genes can be acutely injured. I would add the following to the list for healthy disc and joints for all dogs:
1) Do not de-sex your dog or at least delay it by 3 years. (much more difficult to leave a female dog intact so usually best to delay de-sexing but male dogs can be left intact-- All the bad things we have been told about intact male dogs are exaggerated and/or propaganda by the AVMA). De-sexing causes and/or exacerbates joint and skeletal problems.
2) Do not feed kibble-- Kibble is not species appropriate and will condemn your dog to poor health down the road. Feed a human grade, high protein, balanced raw or gently cooked fresh diet.
3) Walk your dog with a harness daily so that all his joints and discs get oxygenated blood flow and his muscles stay toned.
4) Research the breeder before buying a puppy. Easier said than done. Try to get references so you can talk with owners who have dogs from the breeder to try to determine if the adults have genetically caused health problems.
5) Absolutely give supplements that provide the building blocks for healthy joints and don't wait until your dog is a senior. A raw, prey model diet already supplies all this nutrition but it does not hurt to boost. Certainly a kibble fed dog is nutrient deficient. VetriScience "Disc" is a really great supplement in addition to the supplements recommended in this video.
@@treasuretrovel3816 in dogs that it’s genetic it will continue to keep happening even after surgery or multiple surgeries. That’s the sad truth. Unfortunately, there is no definitive long term treatment for dogs predisposed to genetic IVDD.
my mini doxie was just diagnosed with herniated disc she is 3 1/2 years old. She is having those exact episodes “shaking/muscle spasms” like your frenchie. I agree, its extremely scary to see them in pain and shaking. my dog was put on pain meds and muscle relaxers but i feel they are taking forever to alleviate her symptoms. I will look into the physiotherapy and supplements thank you for this vid, seeing your dog advance in his recovery gives me hope for the my dog. blessings🙏
Aww thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. I'm so sorry to hear your dog is going through this as well. I hope your dog will feel better very soon!
I am using an acupuncturist twice a week and a chiropractor once a week to help my Doxie. The acupuncture seems to make her much more comfortable. Best wishes ❤
@@aprileaton9025 I Love that you're doing acupuncture and seeing a chiropractor! I wish we had access to this type of support. Wishing your pup lots of health and wellness 😃
Omg my frenchie just had IVDD surgery - the pain he went through was unbearable and i literally have PTSD, as the pain and cries he was in was bringing me to tears. We took him to a neurologist in Miami & MRI confirmed it was a slipped disk. Post opp 2 weeks but he’s now going through the heavy medication withdrawal. Very scary but it seems like you’re on the road to recovery. The pain still haunts me to this day & I never want to go through that again. Hugs to ur sweet pup ❤ & she’s lucky to have such caring parents!! Yes, no jumping and rough play any longer.
I'm so sorry to hear! I hope your pup is doing better now! Wishing you all the very best 💚
I really appreciate this as it happened to my dog and its terrifying. This gave me hope!
I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful to you. It's so important to share our stories
My 3 year old frenchie/baby started shaking and not moving 2 nights ago. Took her yesterday to vet and yes they said possible spinal injury and gave her dex shot/gabapentin/prednisone and said bed rest and only out to pee. Follow up is Friday. I am devastated and have this sad depressing feeling all day. I’m doing everything I can. He walks very slow and wants to sleep with me in bed. Makes me really sad. Hope he gets over this. Took her immediately.
I'm so sorry to hear! I hope his recovery is fast! Wishing him the best!
I really hope she’s still doing well today. Your video was suggested to me, I made a video on our dogs passing from IVDD. One thing I want to say is our dog first showed signs of IVDD I believe at 1 years old, he would recover and be fine for a long time and then go through another pain/shaking thing so long later. I’m sure you’re being super careful with her but I just want to say that you shouldn’t advertise that she is healed or that these methods would heal the damage already done inside. I do know that some dogs experience the symptoms and then never do again which is awesome and I hope that’s your situation. I just want people to know who could be watching this that they can seem fine for a long time and then it can happen again, as did with my boy who passed at 3 years old.
I'm so sorry to hear your dog passed away! This is so heartbreaking! Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's been almost 2 years since the incident and Milka is doing amazing. This video is not treatment advice, it is a documentation of our journey. We have not had any relapses, thankfully. However, you are definitely right in saying that things could happen again in the future. We are continuing with all our preventative measures, holistic supplements, red light therapy, exercises, behavior corrections, etc. It's a journey indeed, but we know we are doing everything we can to help prevent another injury. I wish you all the very best, and thank you so much for sharing!
@@PAWDEGA Thank you, I know you are. It’s very apart how much love in care you’re pouring into her. Much more than most would honestly. I’m so glad to hear she’s still doing well. I only left my comment as more of a cautionary tale for others who may happen across my comment. All the best to you and Milka. 🙏🏼❤️❤️
My pup doesn’t have IVDD, but I just found out yesterday that she very likely will develop it. She’s a Shi tzu poodle mix with a very long body and very short legs. When I found out about IVDD I immediately ordered her a harness, and now I’m looking into other preventative gear as well. I’m so scared of my dog developing this condition
Thank you so much for sharing. There is definitely so much that can be done to help prevent IVDD from happening. French Bulldogs are also very prone to IVDD, however, we have been able to prevent this for the past 7 years, and when she did have her injury, it was very mild. I definitely think it's because of all the preventative measures we took the past years. Here are some of the aspects that worked well for us:
- We make sure she gets lots of joint-friendly exercise
- Keeping our dog at perfect weight where we can easily feel her ribs
- No jumping
- Preventative natural supplements: pawdega.us/products/joint-support-bundle-standard
- Feed Bone Broth
- Feeding a low-inflammatory, raw meat diet
- Using the correct harness
You can also start Red Light Therapy to help prevent IVDD. This is the device that we use now: shop.photonichealth.com/collections/essential-line-pad-system/products/essential-line-essential-pad?ref=ivV7b9zn3wMB_S
Wishing you and your dog all the best!
My frenchie is having this issue now I am currently sat with her 24/7 worried 😟.
Me too. Very scary experience. I took mine to a neurologist in Miami and they recommended bed rest and medicated him for 6 weeks because he is at a level 1 for IVDD. I’m praying and hoping to keep him from having to have surgery one day.
@Franbotplays & @_kyleluis we are so sorry to hear this! I hope your Frenchies feel better very soon! I know how scary it is to go through this! Wishing you all the best! Stay strong!
You guys seem like twin flames in union 💕🔥
I love these kind of videos BUT EVERY Frenchie Owner should do their own research. I was really wanting to go the NO SURGERY ROUTE but my gut kept telling me to at least get the MRI done for my pup. Thank god I did! They found a burst vessel in her spine which could've been deadly without surgical internvention. While I am aware that recovering without IVDD surgery is possible always do your research and do what you believe is the right thing for you pupper. But please remember that bringing your furbaby back home with no surgery is a big risk as they can potentially lose their lives. I say this with good intentions
We don’t have the diagnosis yet just the vet’s first thoughts that my maltipoo have IVDD. He can still walk but one of his legs is dragging. From my research this is about a stage 2 of this condition so I am going to definitely buy and try as much of the supplements that you suggests thsg I can. And I pray he can make a full recovery as well❤
Hey Chantelle, thanks for your comment. I hope the information in the video is able to provide some relief and support for your pup. Wishing him lots of strength and wellness.
Any update?
@@HeroicTurkey yep! We have been using the red light therapy, their jump for joints and elk power also made some of the homemade tumeric paste (they have a video on how to do it). Also he was on strict bed rest for at least a week. I really try to get him not to walk on it but it can be hard. But he has made such a large turnaround. I still pick him up to get on my bed or to go up the stairs. Sometimes I miss him doing it but 90% of the time I do. He can jump, walk, go down stairs and up stairs he still has a little trouble fully standing like he used to but I’m positive about him recovering to that point! Their products and what they suggest are awesome! I’m glad I came across their channel
@@chantellelove2176 How often do you do the red light therapy?
My dog has just been diagnosed with ivdd, inflammation on his knee that come later on be medial patella luxation and he also has secondary stifle osteoarthritis, my dog needs to keep moving to help with the osteoarthritis but I’m afraid if he lives a lot it can worsen his ivdd, I asked the vet other than surgery, what can I do to prevent it from getting worse, he didn’t say meds nor crate rest, he only mentioned to let let my dog up and down stairs and prevent him from standing on his back legs ( I only went to the vet because my dog wound go up stairs normally and wouldn’t stand on his bag legs as often) he didn’t say anything about crate rest nor medications. And I’m so afraid it can get worse, the vet recommended labrela injections for his osteoarthritis, which I was thinking of going thru, until I read some comments on RUclips videos of how it has made their dog pass away or become deaf, and I’m very very scared, I don’t know what to do, I feel stuck.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs diagnosis! Thank you so much for sharing! I know exactly what it feels like to worry about our dog's health and future. It's so difficult! There is a lot we can do to support our dog's joint health and help slow joint concerns from progressing. I would have a look at diet, making sure to feed a low-inflammatory diet such as raw or freeze-dried raw. This is what we feed our dog currently: pawdega.us/collections/freeze-dried-raw Then I would focus on anti-inflammatory supplements and joint health supplements. I recommend this bundle which is also what we use: pawdega.us/products/joint-support-premium Additionally, if you can, have a look at red light therapy. We have a RUclips video about this which you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/aq_Mge4KyuE/видео.html and we use this red light therapy device for our own dog to support joint health: shop.photonichealth.com/collections/essential-line-pad-system/products/essential-line-essential-pad?ref=ivV7b9zn3wMB_S Let me know if you have any questions! I wish you and your pup lots of health and hope he feels better soon. 💚
What committed pup parents. Thank you for sharing. Going through my own IVDD journey with my dachshund and trying to find my way...
Thank you so much for watching and sharing. I wish you and your doggy all the best and hope he feels better soon
Did you re-image her or do an MRI to see if there was visible improvement in the discs or you are just saying she has recovered enough that she isn’t symptomatic with all these modalities used? I guess I was thinking some repair or regeneration occurred but I guess I misunderstood the email. Glad she has improved.❤
We never did any MRIs because by the time we got to the vet she was already walking and the vet did not think it was necessary. We always want to avoid sedating her, so we did not want to do the MRI if it wasn't necessary. She has not had any IVDD flare ups since that first initial injury and it's been over 1.5 years. We are very consistent with her natural supplements and red light therapy to help prevent injuries. We are very thankful she is doing so well.
Our frenchie is 1 year and 4 months ☹️ and this is the exact same thing that’s she is going through. Shaking and the scream and is not herself we are hoping to see the vet today I hope it’s just from her not being able to use the bathroom
So sorry to hear! She is so young. I hope she feels better soon
The same thing happened to my Frenchie on Sunday. She lost motion of all her legs 😞. She was in bad pain for like two days. The vet told me it was her disc and will require surgery. Honestly it's too expensive for me as they are asking for 15k. Today she was much better. She ate, she cant move but she was able to do her needs on her own. Saw my other dog playing with a toy and started hating so thats a good sign lol. Honestly I'm going to give her time to heal. (Highly recommend buying a dog crate so they wont move) and see how she does. Today gave me hope. How's your dog doing?
@@erickmoran8134 I'm sorry to hear about this, but I am happy that you already see improvement after a few days. I understand the desire to 'wait and see'. However, if I may suggest something? Right now is the best time to start doing a few natural things to support the healing journey naturally. If you want to have the best chance of preventing a surgery, then we have to actively support our dogs in their healing journey rather than sit and wait. Actively supporting the healing journey will look different for everyone. For us, it was a multi-faceted approach including all the things mentioned in the video. However, you can also start with some natural joint-supporting supplements, CBD, or natural anti-inflammatories. We created an IVDD support bundle (pawdega.us/products/ivdd-bundle) to support pet parents in their natural support, but you can also select the ones that best fit your dog and your budget. Let me know if you have any questions. For our dog, the Injury was over a year ago, and she has not had a relapse. She is healthy and agile. I wish you and your dog the absolute best and hope she recovers soon.
How is your frenchie? Mine just started this same injury two nights ago. Currently on meds and bedrest and I pray he’s better. He’s 3 years old
I’m sorry to hear that I hope ur frenchie makes a full recovery! We started giving her -under the weather disc and spine soft chews for dogs. She is 100% normal again but we are tightening up on her jumping as much as possible! We give her 2 every morning and she has been a lot better!
My Frenchie is going through this right now after him playing with my other Frenchie i believe it was a bad landing from a jump. wish i could afford all this, i have some natural remedies but nothing like this 😥
I'm so sorry to hear! I hope your Frenchie is feeling better very soon. We all do the best we can, so if you can only use a few of the mentioned products, or other natural remedies, that is amazing support.
No medicine? They are still in pain and inflammation! I am using some medication and cbd drops for dogs. I just don’t want my puppers in pain. They say to keep them limited movement for 8 weeks, were you worried that rushing the walking would cause more damage?
I’m just curious…. We all want to do the right thing… 😢
We used lots of natural remedies to help reduce pain and inflammation. This is what worked for us, and our dog was not in visible pain after the initial injury. It always depends on the individual case. Our physiotherapist advised that she was healing rapidly and ready for walks early. I think the red light therapy at home also helped a lot to speed things up.
Helpful advice
Glad to hear you found this helpful
Just a quick question It looks like some of these supplements have the same stuff in them to treat IVDD is it necessary to buy all ? If needed I will purchase all just wondering. Thanks
Hey Chris, Thanks for your comment. I believe the only similar products recommended here are Jump for JOYnts and Your Go 2. Jump for JOYnts is more for long term use, while Your Go 2 is to help immediate concerns such as shock, trauma, or injury and great to have for emergency situations. If you could go for all, I believe these would very beneficial. I've dropped 2 links below you may be interested in.

Care giver for an 11 1/2 year old Great Dane "MINI" She has Spondylosis/ Spinal Stenosis/OA. She has always been hyperactive. My biggest problem now is to keep her from going Jiggy on me and re injuring her self. Jiggy -- you know the classic Great Dane Happy Dance.
Right now she is lame on the right rear -- it appears to be neurological -- appears to be sciatica. She went gone down recently with what appeared to be a muscle spasm. Huge lump formed quickly and went away as fast! So now her butt is in a sling. I have removed the prong collar and am using a halter so I have two handles to lift or control her. A whole new way of walking!
Mini had a bout with bladder stones and was on a Struvite control diet and now maintenance diet for well over six months. Those diets reduce or eliminate magnesium. I just got some magnesium today on a hunch and some Arnica!
Anyway, I really appreciate your approach and value the information you provided.
Thanks Kristine & Mini
Aww thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm so sorry to hear the difficulties she is going through. I hope she is doing much better already today.

Hi Guys. Do you have any experience with myelopathy? I would appreciate if you guys could share your thoughts on that. I have a chihuahua and he just got diagnosed with that and I’m trying to find some info. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I know crate is recommended but my frenchy has never been in a crate. Currently just on floor with many blankets and he doesn’t go anywhere unless I take him out to pee. Possible spinal injury two nights ago. He’s eating drinking well, walks slowly and kind of lifts left hind leg. On meds and bed rest of course. I hope I’m doing the right thing. Any links to your products?
So sorry to hear about your Frenchie's injury. I hope he feels better very soon. Our Frenchie was also on bed rest as described in the video, however we did not use a crate. We got 3 pieces of movable (non-stationary) wooden gates and wherever she was resting, we would barricade her with the gates to reduce her moving. Perhaps that is an option for you too. Here is a link to all the supplements we used for our Frenchies natural recovery: pawdega.us/products/ivdd-bundle Wishing you all. the best!
My pup is currently experiencing this. I wasn’t sure what was happening so I took her to the emergency vet hospital. They recommended I take her to a neurologist or put her down. It wasn’t her regular vet because they weren’t able to see her. They did give her steroids and pain meds. She never yelled out in pain but I could definitely tell she is in pain. What do you recommend I start her on right now? I would have to order the products you are using but I don’t really want to give her pain meds and steroids right now although they seem to help. I just know a lot of the medication isn’t good to give them just like it isn’t good for us to take.
I'm so sorry to hear your dog has had to go through this! I know how scary this is for both of you and I'm so shocked to hear about the feedback from the vet. I hope you'll be able to see your regular vet very soon, to get a second opinion.
I would honestly recommend to start using all the supplements and remedies that we've talked about in this video as soon as possible. This is exactly what we did, and we had amazing results. All products are natural. I will list the products for you below, and if you can start with the red light device (linked below) as well, that's an extra layer of support too.

I just love both of you in the name of God
I have been gathering information from your videos
I cry because I have seen my Yorkie suffer for so long. I have tried many things, but my holistic vet die last.year and I am lost. My Yorkie
Was born with a completely damaged hip dysplasia, so only 3 legs from birth
Last year, we found out 6 disk are damaged, and my vet was doing therapy and supplements he made specifically for him
He was born with a narrow throat. The neck shows in the x-ray that it was not form right either
But if you see my Yorkie, he is
Shakes went he has bad days
But it just getting worse
And I hate it
My vet is no longer here to help him. we live in a small town in texas kilgore, texas, and nothing but regular vets
Thank you. I will try these supplements, but I worried about the liver at the same time he is 4 pounds full of love
Eats healthy primal for many years and raw other good brands, so he is healthy
My vet never gave him shots
Nothing, but we live in texas
I rescue 72 cats from the streets, spayed neuter, and find them homes, but I think it is time for me to dedicate my full time with my baby
I suffered an accident in 2015. My left foot completely cut off reattach but with horrible pain
And 11 surgeries with no success, so I am terrified of surgeries for my baby never
So thank you again and pray for my baby to continue using his 3 legs, but I am prepared
To buy him a wheelchair, I will not see him suffer
I stopped my treatment since he got worse
I live my life for him because of him. I haven't given up in life
Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤ your doggie is so lucky to have you! We wish you both lots of health and wellness ❤
can i use the same supplements as you guys even if i have her on pain meds and oral steroids
Thank you so much for getting in touch with us about this. I know how important it is to ensure your dog does not consume any products that could interact with the medication you are giving.
The wonderful thing about the products that have been recommended is that they are truly natural, very gentle, and yet so effective. Since they don’t contain any synthetics or filler ingredients, they are recognized by the body as nutrition, and generally speaking, our products can be used with most medications.
However, for liability reasons, I won’t be able to give a definitive answer regarding the specific medication your pet is on or may take.
You can refer to the full ingredient list of the products on our product pages to determine if they are safe for your dog to use. If you have any concerns, I highly recommend consulting with a holistic veterinarian for guidance on combining medication with supplements. You can find the list of our recommended holistic veterinarians and pet wellness professionals here: pawdega.com/blogs/blog/11-holistic-veterinarians-pet-nutritionists-animal-homeopaths
What do I do if my dog doesn’t want to eat or drink water 😢? If he has IVDD
So sorry to hear! Have you tried Bone Broth? Bone Broth is a great way to provide liquid to our dogs, PLUS it actually helps enhance joint health too. Since it tastes like meat, many dogs will drink the bone broth even if they refuse water. You can make bone broth at home. Here is a Free recipe: ruclips.net/video/Sr0c-0TZLVU/видео.html

We are filing an update soon 😀 Please turn on notifications for our channel, so you get notified once that video launches.
Hi,
My German Shepherd is 13 yrs old and he can't stand his front legs are working and his rear legs are working but he cant stand so we did x rays and found he has Degenerative Disc disease. So on my dog will the physiotherapist work?
Anyone if know anything plz tell before it gets to late.🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I'm so sorry to hear! I definitely recommend speaking to a physiotherapist to see if they can help your dog's situation. Having a look at hydrotherapy would also be really beneficial, since it's great exercise easy on the joints.
Definitely have a look into red light therapy which can help reduce pain and inflammation.

Does your dog use any type of orthopedic dog bed or cot? I have a German Shepherd with IVDD. She started having paralysis in hind legs 2 weeks ago. She has improved mobility in back right and wants to potty alone. Good dog food is important. I use a mix of freeze dried raw and I boil a lot of organic chicken and turkey mixed with plain Organic rice and I make a bone broth.
Yes we do have an orthopedic dog bed for her as well. The supplements we've mentioned in this video will be a great addition to your dog's support. Have you tried red light therapy for your Shepherd? I think it helped our dog and we still use it to help prevent injuries in the future. We got this one: bit.ly/Essentialbackpad
Everyone should look up the words IVDD in dogs, no nociception and myelomalacia before deciding not to seek medical attention for your dogs.
Thanks for your comment. Noone is suggesting not to seek medical attention. Obviously, if there is something wrong with a dog, the vet should be visited. If you watched the full video, you know that we addressed our dog's IVDD naturally under the guidance of our vet.
Its crate rest for early stages of ivdd. Limit movements. I feel bad for your frenchie.
Thanks! If you had listened to the whole video, you would have known that our dog was on strict bedrest for 2 weeks and on very limited and short walks after the 2 weeks, with the permission of our physiotherapist.
Would you consider adding hyaluronic acid, glucosamine chondroitin and colostrum to your supplement plan to speed recovery, reduce inflammation, and increase synovial fluid in the joints.
Hey Ray, thanks for your message. This is a great question. Our dog gets HA, Glucosamine, condroitin, and collagen mostly through her raw food diet and bone broth. We also feed her Bovine Trachea by Dr Rons which also a great source of the above nutrients. It's a human supplement but I do feed to my dog 😀 lddy.no/1hz7o
We personally don't feed colostrum for ethical reasons, although there are a lot of amazing benefits to it.
I believe all this would help if you're able to source them from wholefood sources rather synthetic.
Help me pls my dogs perilies
I'm so sorry to hear your dog is paralyzed! Have you gotten in touch with a physiotherapist for treatment?
I recommend starting with a physiotherapist and of course, talking to your trusted vet about your dog's individual case.
You can also start using the supplements and remedies that we've talked about in this video as soon as possible. Our dog was not paralyzed, but we had amazing results with these natural solutions. I will list the products for you below, and if you can start with the red light device (linked below) as well, that's an extra layer of support too. Let me know if you have any questions.

Homeopathy is literally just water. Dont listen to this shit. Take your dog to the vet and follow the guidance of your vet. Your dog needs muscle relaxers and neurological meds.
Thanks for watching! If you had listened to the whole video, you would know that we actually went to the vet and managed our Frenchies’ recovery 100% naturally with the approval and guidance of our vet. You would also know that we used a multifaceted approach and combined homeopathy, probiotics, antioxidants, red light therapy, physiotherapy, and more!
Before you go around spreading misinformation, please share some proof of your claim regarding homeopathy being “literally just water”.
This video documents OUR personal journey; it is not intended to replace veterinary advice. It is what worked for us in our specific case.
@@PAWDEGA I suggest you do some deep dive on homeopathic medicine. Its quackery.
@@PAWDEGA Lack of evidence of effectiveness of homeopathy
NHMRC concluded there is no reliable evidence that homeopathy is effective for any health condition. NHMRC's Statement on Homeopathy indicates that homeopathy should not be used to treat health conditions that are chronic, serious or could become serious.
You still have not provided any sources for your claim that ‘homeopathy is just water’ and neither have you provided any links to any credible sources for your statements.
Here are a few studies on 3 of the homeopathic ingredients we used with our dog:

“According to World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathic medicine is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world and is fastest growing.”
We have witnessed with our own eyes how homeopathy has helped naturally support thousands of pets in their healing journey. We wish you all the best and leave it at that.
@@PAWDEGA just type homeopathy efficacy into google.
🙄🙄 ppl dont get ur hopes up this dog was still walking not paralyzed! Prednisone wld have knocked that out quicker .This is not a true spinal injury
I have to say I agree with that. Each case is individual in its severity. I don't think this type of treatment, without meds and possible surgery, would work for a more advanced injury.
Thank you so much for your comment @hairslayer2638 @cfrates2703 This is our personal experience and healing journey. We are sharing our experience; this is not a treatment suggestion or substitute for veterinary advice. There are different stages of IVDD. Not every IVDD case involves a paralyzed dog. We have been taking a preventative approach to IVDD for over 4 years through diet, supplements, exercise, and more. We are convinced that this preventative approach is the reason why our dog's injury was not as bad as it could have been. We wish your dogs all the best of health.
@@PAWDEGA Thank you for sharing your experience. It is always best to try to prevent.
My dog is a black Labrador and he got waist paralyzed down one morning out of the blue and cried so loud if we moved him even bit me and he has never bitten anyone in his life, and doctors told me he won’t walk again and not sure if he will make it and we tried the medicine and he recovered but not until years later today, we got a puppy and they played a lot and rough and he started the symptoms very slow same as their Frenchie symptoms and worse over the days. Yes it is a true spinal injury. I rather have this stage where I know there is time to help my baby than to wake up with him paralyzed waist down, this is a true spinal injury, paralyzed or not . So yes have hope people.. because my dog was saved first time and this time I have hope he will again. In the name of Jesus amen
