Wobblers Disease2007-11-25 2:56:58

Has anyone ever had a dog diagnosed with this disease & will you please explain the symptoms ? Thank you all in advance!!

Answers:

I haven't seen this myself, but have talked to people who have dogs that have been diagnosed with Wobblers..

An unwillingness to bend the neck is usually the first sign, followed by weakness and lack of coordination in the rear limbs, progressing to weakness in the front limbs as well.

Check here tho.. I talked to this girl years ago now.. And she had great luck with her girl.. It's about a dog that she rescued and her ordeal with wobblers and how they helped out her dog.

Like I said I don't have any personal experience, or even puppy people who have had the problem. I hear it more from people with danes than Dobermans.. So if you are searching check dane sites too.

Also search CVI or Cervical Vertebral Instability

Great Danes are very prone to Wobblers. Take a look at the ginnie.com website, and go to the medical links. There is an extensive library on Wobblers there.
