Has anyone ever heard of or had experience with spinal cord degeneration in Rottweilers?
I am looking to see if there is a diagnostic test out there specifically for this, or if anyone has had any experience with this.
We were at the vet today, who feels strongly that Saga's lameness and sudden incontinance is from a sprain. I will most likely be back at the vet tomorrow to have X-rays taken. I am not convinced this is from a sprain, nor am I convinced that one more week of anti-inflamatories and pain meds after 2 weeks is going to resolve this. I know, I should have had the X-rays today, I just was not mentally prepared to handle any bad news by myself.
The reason I ask about the degeneration, is I know someone whose non-Rottweiler experienced this and many of the symptoms Saga is exhibiting are the same, but the associated pain is not.
We checked anal glands, ears, manual check of front legs and back leg, back and pelvis. Her abdomen showed no signs of distress, and her stools have been normal up until this morning, as was her bladder control.

Thanks for any information you all may have.
