This is such good news for sausage dog owners!

Chondroitinase Injection Treatment
Cambridge vets offer new injection treatment for dogs with IVDD

A new enzyme injection treatment for dogs with severe intervertebral disc disease
(IVDD) is now available at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital (QVSH), offering
a safe, less invasive, and more affordable alternative to surgery for some patients.

The treatment, called percutaneous intra-discal chondroitinase injection, involves
delivering an enzyme directly into the damaged intervertebral discs. This enzyme
dissolves the central part of the disc, potentially relieving pressure on the spinal cord.
The QVSH in Cambridge recently worked with colleagues from Texas A&M
University in the United States, to run a clinical trial involving 54 dogs who had lost
the ability to walk due to IVDD. The trial, now published in the Journal of the
American Veterinary Medical Association, showed that dogs receiving chondroitinase
injections recovered the ability to walk at a similar rate to those who undergo other
forms of treatment for IVDD.

The procedure is now available at the QVSH as part of a low-cost IVDD treatment
package including a full neurological consultation, MRI scan, and injections into
multiple discs for a total cost of £1,750. We are still accepting dogs for the original
trial, where pet owners who are unable to afford traditional treatment may be offered
the injections at a significantly reduced fee of £400, but with no MRI or CT scan.

For further information about chondroitinase injections for IVDD or about the ongoing
trial, contact the QVSH on 01223 337621, or alternatively email Professor Freeman
at [email protected] or the neurology service at [email protected].

Background It is very common for dogs to suddenly become partially or fully paralysed in the hindlegs because of a disc herniation in the middle of their back. It is especially common in small breed dogs with short legs.

So I have copied and pasted this from a wonderful FB group I am in, the dog belongs to a friends family member so please no negative comments. She is based in Colchester. If you are able to offer this lovely girl a home I can put you in touch.

This young couple are in the most awful position of needing to rehome a 19month old gorgeous Doberman who has done absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever... They have just had a baby, and the dog is delighted and bouncy and big (40kg) and they have realised that they simply cannot cope and keep the baby safe and give the dog all the attention she needs too. She is fully socialised, used to creche days, loves all dogs and all people and has never resource guarded or hurt anyone. She is a pedigree from a reputable breeder, with up to date everything. She is the most loved and cherished dog in the world... and they are in bits, but are doing this because they know that they can't give her what she needs.
