WHAT IT IS. Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) is a spontaneously occurring, adult-onset spinal cord disorder that affects dogs, and is similar to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrigâs disease in humans (1). With DM, there is. degeneration of the âwhite matterâ of the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves.
In DM, the spinal cord begins to deteriorate, and the fibers that carry the signals from the brain to the legs disintegrate. Dogs with DM slowly develop weakness in their back legs and eventually lose control of them. Degenerative myelopathy is not a painful disease, but dogs with DM eventually lose their mobility. There is currently no definitive test for DM until after a dog has died.
