Degenerative myelopathy (DM), also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy (CDRM) or German shepherd degenerative myelopathy, is a disease that affects the spinal cord, resulting in slowly progressive hind limb weakness and paralysis. The symptoms result from degeneration of the white matter of the spinal cord.

Canine degenerative myelopathy, also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy, is an incurable, progressive disease of the canine spinal cord that is similar in many ways to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is characterised by a non-painful progressive hind limb paralysis in older dogs. Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) was previously known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy (CDRM) and is a progressive degenerative spinal cord disease.

2024年1月18日 · Canine degenerative myelopathy (also known as DM) is a spinal cord disease. DM can result in gradual paralysis in dogs, starting in the hind legs and moving toward the...

2022年7月7日 · ‘Canine degenerative myelopathy’, also known as CDRM or ‘chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy’ is a disease that affects your dog’s spinal cord, resulting in hind limb weakness and paralysis. The human equivalent most similar is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as ‘Lou Gehrig’s disease.’.

Degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a disease that affects the spinal cord in dogs, causing progressive muscle weakness and loss of coordination. It acts similarly to Lou Gehrig’s disease, or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), in humans. There is no cure for DM; however, routine physical therapy may delay the clinical progression of this disease.

Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), also called chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy (CDRM), is a genetic condition in dogs. It affects their spinal cord and results in progressive hindlimb weakness and paralysis, ultimately limiting the dog’s mobility.

2020年5月7日 · Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), sometimes referred to as CDRM (Chronic Degenerative RadiculoMylopathy), is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease characterized by a general lack of coordination of muscle movements in the pelvic limbs. Dogs affected slowly lose control and function of their hind limbs.

Degenerative myelopathy (formerly, chronic degenerative radiculo-myelopathy, CDRM) is a cause of progressive weakness, wobbliness and incontinence in dogs. The condition typically affects middle aged to older adult dogs (5-11 years with a median age of 9 years) of either gender.

Degenerative myelopathy is a progressive wasting disease affecting the hind limbs. DM occurs predominately in German Shepherds and Welsh Corgis, although it can on rarer occasions affect other breeds. The cause is unknown but genetic factors are suspected.
