Nonsurgical Management of IVDD in Dogs

IVDD can be described as a slipped disc, ruptured disc, herniated disc, or bulging disc, depending on the type of damage that occurs. When a disc bulges or ruptures, it can compress the spinal cord, affecting an animal’s ability to walk. Decisions about IVDD treatment in dogs are made based on the severity and the duration of clinical signs. In some cases, IVDD can be managed medically. However, without timely and appropriate treatment, IVDD can cause irreversible damage. If your dog is showing signs of spinal pain or limited mobility, it is important to consult a veterinary neurologist immediately. 🔔 Subscribe for more veterinary neurology content! --    / sevneurology   📚 Learn More About IVDD in Dogs: -- https://sevneurology.com/blog/nonsurg...
