The 5 Grades of IVDD in Dogs || Thoracolumbar Region

Veterinary technician, Anthony, reviews the five grades of thoracolumbar (mid-back) intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and their corresponding symptoms. IVDD is a common cause of spinal pain, inability to walk, and rear limb paralysis in dogs. IVDD can occur in any dog but commonly affects Dachshunds, French Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Pekingese, and Beagles.
