Had to share this exciting new development in the treatment of IVDD. For those of you who own and know dachshunds or have experienced IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) in dogs of any breed, it can be devastating and even mild cases can be frustrating and difficult to manage. With the new science and research behind enzyme injections as a treatment, we are able to offer a more affordable and life altering solution for these patients! Big shout out to TAMU and Dr Jeffery for this amazing work🙌
