Otto

Orion now known as Otto is a 2 year old Great Dane who is full of life and has lots of love to give. Otto was recently diagnosed with Wobblers Disease, which is a spinal condition that affects the necks of dogs of all ages. In Wobblers Syndrome, the vertebrae of the neck become deformed and don't connect properly. The resultant pressure on the spinal cord can alter your dog's gait and cause a moderate to severe amount of pain. Otto does have an unsteady gait, sometimes falls during turning, and is extra clumsy, but this does not prevent him from playing, taking walks, and getting on the couch. He is great with other dogs and kids. Otto LOVES getting attention and love and this disease will not prevent him from being a great dog, but he will need extra attention and care to get him through this difficult time. Otto will be on steroids to help with inflammation. At this time, it does not appear that Otto is in any pain, but we are taking extra steps like using an "easy walk" harness to walk him, elevating his food and water bowls are a must, and we monitor his play time with the other dogs.
