A group no one wants to belong to
|
We are a group of Boykin Spaniel owners, whose dogs have been diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease. Some have responded well to treatment, some have had recurring issues. Still others have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Our mission is to create awareness, educate, support and provide data regarding Intervertebral Disc Disease. |

What is IVDD?
When part of spinal disc presses against the spinal cord, a dog may experience a range of symptoms ranging from pain and impaired function to paralysis. In severe cases, it can result in death.

Has your Boykin ever been diagnosed with Disc Disease/IVDD?
Our group is trying to gather information on any boykin spaniels that have had injuries that were a result of disc disease.
Even if your dog has crossed the rainbow bridge,
PLEASE fill out our survey.
This information is critical to help learn more
about this devastating disease.

Going through the first few days after diagnosis, and the months of rehabilitation that follow can be scary. We aren't veterinarians, but we have been there.
We are sharing our stories. We hope that by sharing, it will provide some insight, perspective. and most of all HOPE. If handled properly in time your precious friend will live a wonderful life! |
