Is she anywhere near where there could be raccoons????  There is  something 
called "coon fever" that mimics neurological symptoms and comes on  very 
suddenly. (Unlike DM). Apparently dogs pick up a virus from  racoon urine and 
it affects their nervous system.  Very difficult to  diagnose, supportive 
care.

Spine  issues and OFA Hips are totally unrelated.  IS this her diagnosis, 
has  she been xrayed?  How long has she had this issue?  According to  this 
site, it DM CAN occur in younger dogs, a simple blood test can confirm,  
normal age is between 4-14.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Spinal myelopathy in young dogs

Has anyone  ever heard of Spinal Myelopathy in young dogs, e.g. 2 and 1/2 
years?  I  have friends who have a 2 1/2 year old shepherd who is showing the 
signs and  they are baffled.  The dog is a female and  otherwise fine, but 
has  been wobbley on her back end.  The typical walk, walk, flop over to one 
 side that we know.  Any comments?  Both parents are OFA certified  and so 
are grandparents for several generations??? Claire DrosdickAvion  Kennels
