IVDD
Questions or comments:

Have a breed other than a Dachshund? Dodgers is collecting statistics on other breeds who have IVDD. Please fill out our survey. Thanks!

Is your dog paralyzed? Not sure what to expect regarding quality of life? View Tabby's and Clark's video before you make any decisions that you cannot undo!

How Dodgers and you help with research:

  • Research at the University of California-Davis:Dachshunds and other breeds are wanted to participate in a cheek swab
  • Research at North Carolina State:PEG Clinical Trial for Dogs With Acute Disc Herniations. Dogs are still being accepted.

Keri Thomas, owner of Dodger, writes:

I was the owner of Dodger, and was completely uninformed of the options that I had for Dodger. Of course, if I could change things I would, and my husband and I have changed a lot of things in our house and lives because of this. If this list can help just one person save a Dachsie, it's worth it. I want to thank Linda and everyone else for all the work they are doing on this project.
