It’s a progressive, genetic disease affecting the spinal cord and over 100 dog breeds (& mixed breeds now too). Symptoms usually appear between ages 8-14, starting with ONE hind-leg weakness & loss of coordination, eventually leading to full paralysis, incontinence, organ failure, and respiratory failure all while their mind is still fully aware. The tragedy? Many vets still don’t know about DM It’s often misdiagnosed It’s entirely preventable with genetic testing DM is on the rise - NOW is the time to speak up for the pups! ****************************************************** 💜 About Shade Out DM Foundation Shade Out DM Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run, registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
