boxer/sherpei mix

Question
my dog is 5 yrs old spayed female boxer mix, she has the symtoms of Degenerative myclopathy, from what i have read in your blogs.  i am wondering what Herbal remidies there are out ther for this.  I have made an appointment to have her put down because i can not afford everything they want to do as far as testing, but will cancel the app. in a heartbeat if there is hope for my baby!!   Thank you!

This article is talking about DM in German Shepherds but is one of the best approaches to DM that I have seen personally. It also includes diet, exercise and supplementation. Good luck and thank you very much for your question. Many well wishes for your boxer !
