Abstract
Dogs with wobbler syndrome often have a "wobbly" gait for the most part in the back end (hence the name "wobbler"). This gait is only seen on slippery surfaces and when the dog walks slowly. They may tilt their heads forward while walking, which is usually a sign of pain. Now we will read about this disease in detail.
Introduction
Wobbler Syndrome is a term used to describe the gait of dogs with spinal cord compression in the neck; this is usually a short stride or "floating" gait with the front legs and a wobbly or "swinging" gait with the hind legs. There are two principal kinds of Wobbler Syndrome. The first is called cervical stenotic myelopathy. It occurs in large dogs such as mastiffs, Great Danes, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. The centers of the square, hourglass, or triangular cervical vertebrae receive the pressure of the spinal cord crossing them. At the same time, the spine loses its rounded body. Symptoms in dogs with Wobbler disease usually develop at a young age (months to years) and gradually worsen over time. The research proposes that diet might be considered a wobbler dog disease; an eating routine high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus prompts quick development, which can prompt bone turnover. The second form of Wobbler syndrome occurs in middle-aged and older dogs and is usually caused by a bulging lesion that gradually erodes the base of the spinal cord. This form of wobble syndrome is found in large dogs such as Dalmatians, Dobermans, etc.
