Chronic Degenerative Radiculo Myelopathy (CDRM) has been described as the most common cause of progressive hind limb dysfunction in older German Shepherd Dogs. This video provides information about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of that dreadful condition.
I am trying Sanus-Biotex because of the great feedback from my colleagues, has anyone tried it and can anyone recommend other treatment options?

It's so sad to see such loyal and pure souls suffering like this. I'll always be a dog lover, and I have my reasons.

the main question i think we are all wondering is "does it hurt?"

Anyone know if this could be resolved with stem-cell treatment? (if it was allowed, of course)

a puppy can born with that ''handicap''?

I had to put my friend, Bear, to sleep yesterday. At least he made it to 12 years old and didn't start getting bad because of this disease until 3 months ago.

Sadly enough I have a large male G.S.D. that currently is the same age as your Dexter in this video. My dog looks the same as your Dexter and has degenerated the same way as your dog too. He is to the point now where he is unable to get up off the ground on his own and is developing friction sores on his hips where he's dragging himself alone the grass. He still seems to be as happy as ever and likes to play with his Dad. This video is very touching to me because my dogs name is Dexter too.

@MollyRayForever to give something back. Miss her like crazy. She was 13. She had an Eddies wheels cart for about 8 months when only her hind legs were affected and she loved them! They gave her a new lease of life. She even had her own little pool, I used to to hydrotherapy with her in the evenings and I think that slowed the progression a little.

Its still no excuse for criticising a very informative vid. We lost our beloved dog in feb. Still devastated. Ironically, it wasn't the DM that took her, she had a massive stroke. I am glad that she went quickly, painlessly and most importantly, in my arms. She was sitting in the spring sunshine having some treats and it just took her down before she knew what hit her. We are grateful that she took the decision of euthanasia out of our hands. I think after all I sacrificed for her, she wanted

@MrSkillns It's still no excuse for what I said about a very informative vid. We lost her in Feb. Ironically, it wasn't the DM that took her. She had amassive stroke. She was sitting in the garden in the spring sun, munching on some treats and generally happy and comfortable and the stroke took her down before she knew what hit her. I was with her at the time which is a blessing I suppose. We are grateful to her for sparing us the decision of euthanasia, and happy she went on her own terms x
