Hi Daphne....
We lost a lovely young dog just over a year ago who was only 6 years old. In
about a three month period she was fine, then started stumbling, then was
dragging her rear. Our vet is a orthopedic specialist and had never seen it
before. He would not diagnose her with DM, because of the anomaly of the
disease although the symptoms were similar. Her x-rays showed massive
arthritic changes in the hips and rear portion of the spine over a short
period of time. Her diet did not change and we have no idea what the trigger
was, it just started happening and progressed rapidly until she could no
longer walk. Vet theorized it was some genetic anomaly that he could give no
name or case histories for.
In other words, I wish I knew and had an answer for you. I wonder why
also... so does my vet.
My body is a mystery to my doctor too.....
Dave
