My 6-8 year old Doberman Pinscher, Jethro, was recently diagnosed as having Wobblers. This is a neurological disorder caused by compression on the spinal column in his neck. He presents as very clumsy as it causes him to lose control of his limbs. He sometimes falls down or slips and must struggle to get back up. He's a very happy, playful boy despite this and I hate that the neurologist has stated we must restrict his movements so he doesn't further harm himself. He is currently on a steroid to help and we've seen some improvements, but not a great deal. The vet has stated he will not get better, but we can slow the progression of the disease.
Has anyone heard of Wobblers? Has anyone else's pet had this? What treatments did you pursue? What would you do differently know what you know today?
