Hi there! It’s understandable to want to explore all options for helping your dog with degenerative myelopathy. Let me share some insights on your question.
Lion’s mane mushroom is known for its potential nerve-supporting properties, but specific dosages for dogs aren't well-defined in scientific literature. It’s generally best to seek advice from a vet before starting any supplementation. Vitamin E, an antioxidant, can also be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress. However, like lion’s mane, the right dosage depends on your dog's size, weight, and health status, so consulting a vet is crucial.
At home, you can focus on general support care, such as ensuring their living area is free of obstacles to help with mobility and offering a balanced diet to support overall health.
Watch for signs like extreme weakness, incontinence, or sores from dragging limbs, as these could indicate complications that need prompt attention.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can provide guidance on safe dosages and discuss other supportive treatments. Together, we can ensure your furry friend receives the best care possible.
