If Your Dog Was Just Diagnosed with IVDD, Here’s What to Expect

If your dog was just diagnosed with IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), this video is for you. In 2020, my dog Hara became paralyzed from IVDD. I cared for him for five years after his diagnosis. This video shares what I wish someone had told me during that first overwhelming week. In this channel, I’ll be sharing: • What IVDD is in plain language • What crate rest really looks like • How to express your dog’s bladder • What daily life with a paralyzed dog can look like • The emotional realities of caregiving *This is not medical advice; just lived experience from someone who’s been there.
