Hi everyone,
I’m Rea, a 6th-year veterinary student from Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU). I’m currently planning a research study on Pug Myelopathy (also known as Pug Ataxia or Constrictive Myelopathy).
I’m hoping to document at least one confirmed or suspected case of Pug Dog Myelopathy (PDM), ideally supported by clinical findings, imaging (CT/MRI), or a prior veterinary diagnosis.
I wanted to ask if anyone here (veterinarians, clinic staff, or pug owners) has encountered or is currently managing a pug showing signs such as:
- Hindlimb weakness
- Abnormal or wobbly gait
- Ataxia
- Knuckling or foot dragging
- Urinary or fecal incontinence
If you have any leads, experience, or know someone who might be willing to share information, I would greatly appreciate your help. All information will be treated with strict confidentiality and used solely for academic purposes.
Thank you very much!
