K-9 Spin diseases - Page 1

Lately I have been informed of  many diseases in dogs but this one I thought I should bring forward;

I have been told the weardest thing lately.. my dog freezes up and can't move.. He has an extreme roach back so I am assuming that is the problem.. After proper research this is more than likely what is happening with the dogs of late.. Correct me if I am wrong but are we not the main cause when our dogs have health issues?

With extreme roach backs, I always wondered if they would be prone to getting pinched nerves along their spine?? Anyone know if this happens with them? When I see dogs like that I want to take them in for a chiropractic apt!!

I don't know about that but I do know it looks painful

It's not a terribly common disorder, but I've seen a few cases while working at the Vet Clinic.
