Many years ago, my 11 year old German Shepherd Dog was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy. My vet was able to listen to me and to try the protocol from Dr. Clemmons in Florida (a combination of NAC, Aminocaproic Acid and maybe one other thing). I saw definite improvement and he lived to almost 14. I have two pieces of advice:

1. You may have to research and talk your veterinarian into trying this (mine got me hooked up with a compounding pharmacy, West Woods who sent me the needed supplements). and

2. PNEUMONIA is one of the main killers of dogs and people.... I wish I had tried a wheelchair for my dog to keep the air circulating in his lungs better. I thought he didn't care that much about going for walks since he was able to get to the car to go to work with me (with help). Good luck to all who have to deal with this terrible disease...

We've just had our dog (Blue) diagnosed with DM (CDRM) - 15yrs ago we had the same in our other dogs (Kyle & Ria), we had Aminocaproic Acid sent from the USA to our vets in the UK for treatment & with a vitamin regime similar to Dr C's it worked very well, the original estimate was a few months but we had both dogs still walking well after a year, 1 of them was good for 18mths.

Why doesn't anybody talk of this drug on the internet? Can anyone get it? Does anyone use it?

I could use some now for Blue if anyone can help!
