Super relaxing morning

Unfortunately pet spinal cords and brains don’t check the weather. Stay safe to all of those commuting in another northeast winter storm!

CT or MRI?? It depends!

IVDD recovery doesn’t end at discharge…
What you do at home matters!

Note: these exercises support recovery but do not replace formal rehabilitation. Professional rehab allows for advanced treatment such as underwater treadmill therapy, targeted strengthening, neurologic retraining, and a plan tailored to your pet’s specific deficits and stage of healing.

💪🏼Coco before and after treatment

Coco was diagnosed with a specific inflammatory disease of the central nervous system called idiopathic generalized tremor syndrome (IGTS)- also commonly known as “little white shakers” or idiopathic cerebellitis.

IGTS is a form of immune-mediated meningitis/meningoencephalitis that affects coordination and causes tremors and severe wobbliness, even though strength is often preserved.

To make this diagnosis, Coco underwent an MRI of the brain, a spinal tap (CSF analysis), and infectious disease testing to rule out other causes of neurologic disease.

The good news:
With appropriate treatment, the prognosis for IGTS is generally very good, and many dogs—like Coco—can return to a normal, happy life.

🧠 Not all neurologic diseases are progressive. Some are treatable and reversible!

Supplements won’t prevent IVDD or fix a slipped disc- but some can play a supportive role during recovery and long-term management

• Fish oil (EPA/DHA): anti-inflammatory support and nerve health
• Vitamin E: antioxidant support for nervous tissue
• Glucosamine & chondroitin: joint and spinal mobility support
• Green-lipped mussel: natural anti-inflammatory compounds
• Curcumin (bioavailable forms): inflammation and pain modulation
• MSM: mild anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects

These are adjuncts, not cures. If a supplement claims to regenerate discs or replace surgery, be skeptical and talk to your veterinarian first!

This is Brownie 💙

At his worst, Brownie couldn’t move any of his legs. He was diagnosed with intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)- a condition where disc material presses on the spinal cord and can cause paralysis.

With timely surgery, careful nursing care, and patience, his spinal cord had the opportunity to heal. Today, he’s walking/ running/ and most importantly, back to sniffing again!

IVDD can feel overwhelming, but paralysis does not mean the end of the story. Every patient is different, and recovery takes time but for some patients they can have a remarkable recovery!
