Is IVDD In Dogs Fatal?

The severity of dog IVDD depends on the type of IVDD. There are three main types of intervertebral disc disease in dogs, and they are as follows:

Type 1

This happens once the center portion of the disc becomes busted thanks to tears within the outer part of the disc.

Type 2

This is a gradually progressive condition that may or may not cause pain. If the outer part of the disc becomes torn and fragmented, the fragmented piece may compress the spinal cord.

Type 3

t is typically characterised by trauma that results in an abrupt tear in the outer part of the disc. This type of IVDD in dogs does not lead to chronic compression of the spinal cord but it is just as painful and dogs with it have trouble walking and controlling their hind limbs.

Cost of treatment

There are several factors that will influence the cost of IVDD treatment, such as your dog’s specific condition, location, the procedure and treatment approach used, breed, etc. Proper diagnosis is the bedrock to any price estimation.

A Conservative treatment approach is cheaper than surgery, however, your veterinarian will be the one to recommend the most effective choice of treatment.
