Slipped Disc, Intervertebral Disc Disease (DDIV)

Did you know that generally, 1 in 4 Dachsunds will have at least one Intervertebral Disc Disease (DDIV) crisis during their lifetime, at the highest incidence between 4 and 7 years of age? That’s what happened with Jazz, this 6-year-old Dachs. After a jump from the sofa, she became weak in her rear legs with pain and inappetence. No conventional drugs were used in this case. Only acupuncture, electroacupuncture and moxa. She had an excellent and quick response and has been having acupuncture regularly to lower the chances of another crisis.
