Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is a common condition in Dachshunds, due to their long backs and short legs, making them more prone to spinal issues. 🐾
⭐️Prevention of IVDD in Dachshunds:
📢Weight Management
📢Avoid High Impact Activities
That put stress on their spine, such as jumping from heights, rough play, or sudden twisting motions.
📢Proper Lifting Techniques
When picking up your Dachshund, always lift them by supporting their chest and hind end, avoiding bending their back.
📢Moderate Exercise
📢Provide a Soft Bed
📢 Physical Therapy
Such as gentle massage or swimming, can strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
