Train Together

An IVDD diagnosis can turn ordinary home life into a maze of high-stakes decisions.
The IVDD Recovery & Relapse-Prevention Plan helps families translate veterinarian-directed care into a calm, repeatable system for confinement, medications, safer toileting, hygiene, mobility support, rechecks, and a carefully gated return to activity.
You will build one source of truth from the discharge sheet, create a spine-conscious recovery environment, coordinate caregiver handoffs, describe movement without attempting a neurologic exam, prepare useful recheck evidence, and introduce only the exercises or equipment your veterinary team has cleared and demonstrated.
Twenty-eight practical missions cover the first night through long-term relapse readiness. Fifteen reusable tools organize warning signs, medication, elimination, skin checks, mobility observations, clinician-cleared exercises, equipment fit, incidents, and the next ninety days.
This is not a promise to restore walking or avoid surgery. It is a humane operating companion that helps the household protect the plan, notice change, ask better questions, and support both dog and caregiver.
Protect the spine. Record facts. Open only the activity gate the veterinary team clears.
