Spinal cord injuries can occur in pets due to trauma or other causes. Treatment options range from, but aren’t limited to, surgery to medical management or even to rehabilitation such as, physical therapy, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other integrative approaches! #spinalcordinjury#neurovetcare
What is IVDD?
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is a condition where the discs between a dog’s vertebrae degenerate or rupture, causing pain, nerve damage, or even paralysis. It’s common in breeds like Dachshunds, French Bulldogs, Corgis, and Beagles.
Signs to Watch For:
• Sudden back or neck pain
• Difficulty walking or dragging hind legs
• Reluctance to jump or climb stairs
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
Treatment Options:
1️⃣ Conservative Management:
• Rest: Strict crate rest for 4–6 weeks to reduce inflammation.
• Medication: Pain relievers and anti-inflammatories prescribed by your vet.
2️⃣ Physical Therapy: After rest, rehab exercises can help regain strength.
3️⃣ Surgery: For severe cases, spinal surgery (Hemilaminectomy) may be necessary to remove pressure on the spinal cord.
Prevention Tips:
• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the spine.
• Avoid activities like jumping off furniture—use ramps instead.
• Provide regular, low-impact exercise.
Remember: Early detection and treatment are crucial. If you notice any symptoms, consult your vet immediately! 🐾

On January 15th, Zoe presented to our neurology department for evaluation of acute paraparesis. After diagnostics, her CT scan revealed concussive extrusion disc disease at L2 and L3. We immediately got to work! Each department worked along side eachother to come up with a treatment plan to best help Zoe become as comfortable and as much like herself as she can be! Zoe received HBOT, Acupunture, and Rehabilitation therapy with Resurge we are inspired by her progress thus far!
