I'm so sorry to hear that Wesson has degenerative myelopathy (DM). It is a horrible disease that we see far too commonly. There isn't any treatment that is proven to slow the progression of DM other than regular exercise. That being said, there are some recommendations for diet and supplements. The most common protocol that people have used is Dr. Clemmon's DM diet and supplement recommendations. I am attaching a link to his website below. http://dog2doc.com/neuro/DM_Web/DMofGS.htm He recommends a LARGE number of supplements which I think is too much for most dogs and clients to handle, so I will usually try to find a good quality antioxidant and multi-vitamin to add to a homemade diet.

I would also like to add that sourcing is a big issue for supplements. Apart from the palatabity, some companies are better than others.

Hello. There are many pet vitamins on the market, but you do have to be careful especially choosing a flavored tablet as your dog may react to the coating. The very best way to make sure Sky receives a balanced diet is to discuss his diet with a veterinary nutrition specialist ( https://www.acvn.org ), or you can actually receive the proper information through this site ( https://www.balanceit.com ). Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hmmm. Not sure the train of thought your vet was on. I commonly recommend fish oils, any fish oil supplement will work. There is no specific amount, though the biggest side effect is greasy stools. If you notice that, then you decrease the dose. It can take several months for you to see a change after starting fish oils. You can find a pet product at a pet store, or just use one from the human supplements section of a pharmacy or other store.

A complete physical exam and lab work may diagnose any underlying medical condition or nutritional deficiency. If she is eating a good quality can or dry food, she is likely getting enough nutrients. Pet-tabs FF (Feline Formula) or Pet-Tabs Daily Vitamin-Mineral Supplement for Cats are options for vitamins. You can buy either from your veterinarian, online or in the local Petco. Increase playtime if possible and incorporate "automatic" toys as well as a variety of toys to keep her engaged. Correct any nipping immediately. If she stops, praise her. If she persists, stop all interaction and ignore her until she settles down. This may mean leaving the room or placing her in a different room. A pheromone product, such as Feliway Spray or plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety or aggression.
