What is myelomalacia in a dog?
Myelomalacia is softening or liquefaction (death) of spinal cord tissue. It may be caused by trauma or by invertebrate disk herniation. Often the cause is not known, however. Neurological problems such as paraplegia can result. The prognosis is often poor. Any breed can get Myelomalacia if their back injury is traumatic, though it is a rare condition. A prime candidate has an acute onset of a ruptured disc with instant paralysis and loss of deep pain sensation. Symptoms of Myelomalacia can take five to seven days after the initial injury to show. Surgery cannot stop this condition from spreading. Most often, people euthanize their pets after this diagnosis, as the death of the spinal cord will continue to ascend until it paralyzes the diaphragm and ultimately leads to death.
