For dogs with short, curved limbs and long backs, degenerative disc disease is a real risk. If your dog is starting to show symptoms, it is crucial to get ahead of them now. SeeFurFly’s new guide breaks down everything you need to know about IVDD.

Intervertebral disc disease, or IVDD, is a spinal disorder that occurs as a result of a herniated intervertebral disc. Common in dogs breeds like Dachshunds, Basset Hounds, and Shih Tzus, the condition can cause pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis.

If you're concerned your dog has IVDD, SeeFurFly's guide is the best way to familiarize yourself with the disease and prepare for what comes next.

SeeFurFly's guide gives you all the essential information regarding IVDD, including early symptoms, conservative management techniques like cage rest, controlled activity and canine massages, and therapy treatments like hydrotherapy, cold laser therapy and red light treatments. The guide also breaks down the benefits and risks of choosing surgery for your dog, emphasizing the critical importance of high-quality post-operative care.

SeeFurFly explores both pharmaceutical and holistic methods of managing IVDD, highlighting anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers, as well as acupuncture and natural supplements.

Most importantly, the guide considers the long-term disability that comes with IVDD, recommending orthopedic beds, dog wheelchairs, harnesses, dog ramps, and other solutions that will make your dog's life more comfortable.

SeeFurFly is a comprehensive knowledge base on pet healthcare with up-to-date information on common diseases, therapy, rehabilitation, treatments, and more. With its detailed guide on IVDD, the platform hopes to elevate the standards of care for dogs living with the degenerative disc disease.

The guide states, “When your Dachshund shows signs of struggle with their front or back legs, it’s a situation that calls for immediate attention. Understanding what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how to address it is the first step towards providing relief and a potential full recovery for your beloved pet.”
