As far as I can remember, there was nothing to be done. He was adopted by someone who had ties to OVC where he could be monitored by the neurologist. Unfortunately, and unrelatedly, he died of osteosarcoma when he was just 2.
Incidently, he was purchased originally from a pet store. |
We have seen a few DDD dogs come through rescue. From my understanding, it is a fairly slow progressing disease and as Mary mentioned, not much can be done. I know one of the dogs died of DCM (unrelated) and the other was recently diagnosed with cancer (also unrelated).
