I, for one, am eternally grateful to have discovered Dodgerslist when Frankie was diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease on April 15th, 2006. They gave me hope and peace of mind that despite Frankie’s diagnoses she could lead a quality life. And boy, has she ever! IVDD is not a death sentence – education is key.
Dodgerslist is celebrating 10 years of saving lives through their website and educating others. Join them in the fun for prizes and heartwarming stories, plus a photo contest.
Here is their offical announcement:
Come join the celebration!
Ten short years ago, March 27th in 2002, a Yahoo Group called Dodgerslist was created. The first members were a number of Dachshund owners searching to understand the mysteries of IVDD they could not find answers to through their vet. They wanted and needed answers to figure out how to give the best care to help the dog recover, to learn all the treatments available that could save dogs from being put to sleep. Now ten years later, the Dodgerslist web page has exploded with good, solid information written by Board-Certified (ACVIM) neurology veterinarians, physical therapists, and vet techs targeted specifically to the IVDD dog and the right care to help with healing.
With the help of well over 4300 current members now representing many other breeds besides Dachshunds prone to disc disease, the mission to educate continues. Full-color, professional-looking educational brochures, a DVD on intervertebral disc disease, and copies of the Quarterly “Dodgers Digest” are hand delivered to vet clinics all over the United States. Our DVD has been mailed to many corners of the globe to help IVDD victims from England to South Africa to Australia!
Make plans to join our fun 10-year celebration complete with prizes and heartwarming stories…tell everyone you know and join the “Photo Contest.”
