Researchers have recently confirmed that canine degenerative myelopathy, or DM, may be the doggy equivalent of human ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Know the breeds most affected and the early red flags to watch for to help your pet live through this irreversible and incurable disease.Show more

A 2020 study provides evidence that dogs with canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) are best served by an integrative multimodal treatment protocol started as early as possible.

Laser therapy, coupled with underwater treadmill therapy and other types of physical rehabilitation, can be tremendously beneficial for dogs with DM.

The primary symptom of DM is loss of coordination in the hind limbs, with eventual complete paralysis; large breed dogs from 7 to 14 years of age are at highest risk.

Unfortunately, DM is irreversible and incurable; the treatment goal is to proactively manage the characteristics of the disease and preserve good quality of life for as long as possible.

Regular exercise, a fresh food diet, appropriate nutritional supplements, low-dose Naltrexone, and a customized physical rehabilitation protocol, including acupuncture, can greatly enhance both quality of life and lifespan for dogs with degenerative myelopathy.
