Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is a painful disorder of the spine that can lead to weakness, partial loss of limb function, and even paralysis. IVDD is most often seen in dogs with a long back and short legs, but it can occur in any breed of dog — and even in cats.
IVDD can be a frightening diagnosis for owners, so understanding the disease and how it's treated is the best way to help your pet.
Join us on Wednesday, January 12th at 6PM ET on Zoom, as Dr. Daniel Cimino, Resident Veterinarian in AMC's Neurology Service, discusses the most common causes of IVDD, how it is diagnosed, and the treatments that are used to manage the disease. Learn about lifestyle changes that can help your pet recover from, or even slow the progression of, this debilitating disease.
This is a free, online-only event hosted via Zoom (https://zoom.us/). A link to the event with instructions will be emailed to all registered participants the day of the event. Please email UsdanInstitute@amcny.org with any questions.
