Wobblers: Common Questions To Bring Up

By Michael Robert Peterson


Dogs are at risk of contracting different conditions, some of them more serious than others. I believe that this is where Wobblers can come into effect. While this condition could affect a number of animals, it seems like dogs are focused on the most, giving their higher level of risk related to said condition. For those who have either never heard about this condition or recognize the name without knowing all of the details, a bit of learning is required.

For those who do not know, Wobblers affects the dog's neck and spine in negative ways. The major sign that pet owners should pick up on is a wobbly stance or walk; it's almost possible that all of the limbs could be paralyzed in the worst of cases. As a result, this condition has rightfully earned the attention of authorities the likes of Assisi Animal Health. If you'd like to become more knowledgeable about this condition, consider bringing up these questions.

"What is the source of Wobblers?" One of the most unfortunate things about this condition is that, simply put, it's unknown where the source is. It's been argued that genetics play a role in the matter, which would make sense. However, this information is largely unsubstantiated and it doesn't hold up nearly as well as it should. In any event, it's important to know that Wobblers, at least as of this moment, does not have a clear source.

"What can you tell me about risk, in relation to breeds?" Did you know that certain breeds of dogs may be at greater level of risk of contracting this condition than others? Larger breeds, as stated earlier, are more prevalent in these cases, so it's not like toy dog owners will have to worry about this. From what I have seen, Great Danes are at especially high levels of risk when it comes to Wobblers. As a result, it's important for pet owners to recognize any changes in behavior, no matter how minimal they may be.

"Are there any solutions for my pet?" If you're looking for ways to clear the issue of Wobblers, there are quite a few methods to take up. Depending on how severe the condition itself is, you may only need to give your dog medication, which will be issued by your veterinarian. However, in more serious situations, it's possible that surgery will have to be carried out. Whatever the case may be, ensure that you contact your vet and that he or she is given as much detail as possible.
