Our 12 year old boxer has been diagnosed with DM. She has stopped walking. Even with the cart she does not seem to want to go. Your prayers for her recovery would be welcomed. She is a friend to all.
Update from Brian:
Thank you very much! DM is similar to multiple sclerosis in people. It affects the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The CNS is responsible for carrying nerve impulses or messages to and from the muscles. Axons carry these messages and are similar to electrical wires. As with electrical wires, axons require insulation. Without insulation, the message leaks out. In the progression of DM, the myelin sheath (insulation) on the axon is damaged or slowly destroyed rendering the muscle incapable of carrying out a movement.
