Why do dogs get myelitis?

Myelitis in dogs is usually caused by bacterial infection of the spine and intervertebral discs. When dogs are infected with myelitis, they usually have symptoms such as thinness, sensitivity, depression, loss of appetite, stiffness, and uncoordinated movements. Parents need timely treatment in the future to avoid worsening of the condition.

Tip:

The body structures of dogs and humans are very similar, so many diseases that humans can contract can also be contracted by dogs. We need timely treatment after discovering them.
