Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Medical Waiver – Bridging Spondylosis Deformans This dog has been diagnosed with bridging spondylosis deformans affecting the thoracic and lumbar spine, as noted on radiographs. Spondylosis deformans is a degenerative condition of the spine characterized by bony spur and bridge formation between vertebrae. This condition is generally progressive and may worsen with age. On physical examination, this dog demonstrated pain on spinal palpation, indicating that the condition is currently clinically significant and may be contributing to discomfort, stiffness, or decreased mobility. Clinical signs associated with spondylosis can include back pain, reduced activity tolerance, stiffness (especially after rest), difficulty rising or jumping, and, less commonly, neurologic changes. Management is typically long-term and supportive, and may include: Pain control and/or anti-inflammatory medications Joint supplements or other adjunctive therapies Weight management Activity modification Physical rehabilitation or low-impact exercise Further diagnostics, long-term medication, and ongoing veterinary care may be required. The response to treatment can vary, and pain or mobility issues may progress over time. By adopting this dog, the adopter acknowledges awareness of this diagnosis and understands that future medical care and associated costs related to this spinal condition will be the responsibility of the adopter. No guarantee is made regarding long-term comfort, mobility, or progression of disease.
