Re: Spinal cord degeneration in Rottweilers?

While I still haven't heard back from our vet, I did call and schedule the X-rays for this afternoon. We will most likely make any decisions about sending her to the bridge then. We will not let her suffer.
I did speak with the makers of deramax this morning. I would like to share their comments regarding side effects.
Urinary incontinance is a reported side effect. No specific numbers are available as these are reports after FDA approval.
Bowel incontinance is a very low occurring side effect, 10 cases in 200,000 treated animals. Not enough for them to put it on the label as a side effect.
Lameness, is not a side effect according to them. And we will be forwarding any treatment decisions to them.

As soon as I get one more thing done here at work, I will be going home to spend time with my pups. I will try to post an update to whatever decisions we make today, and any diagnosis that may come from the X-rays. Thanks again to everyone.
