Re: Spinal cord degeneration in Rottweilers?

My male rottie, Jazz, was diagnosed at age 7 yrs with canine cauda equina syndrome with similar symptoms. Spinal x-rays were needed to make the diagnosis. He had great improvement with acupuncture treatment, however it took several months of weekly treatments before there was much improvement. He is now on maintenance acupuncture once every eight weeks. He rarely has any pain or stiffness in his hindquarters at age 10.
