Doença do Disco Intervertebral (IVDD): Spinal Cord Compression
IVDD is a common cause of back pain and paralysis in dogs. Knowing the signs can mean the difference between recovery and permanent damage.
Intervertebral disc disease occurs when the cushioning discs between spinal vertebrae herniate or bulge, compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots. It's one of the most common neurological conditions in dogs, especially in chondrodystrophic (long-backed, short-legged) breeds.
