초록
This case report discusses a 15-year-old female poodle with multifocal degenerative myelopathy, who achieved significant clinical improvement through intensive acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy. The patient presented with ataxia in both hind limbs, and imaging studies revealed multiple regions of disc protrusion. Rather than surgical intervention, conservative treatment was chosen, which included acupuncture, medication, and laser therapy. Following treatment, notable improvements in neurological symptoms and pain reduction were observed. This case highlights the potential effectiveness of non-surgical approaches in managing degenerative myelopathy.
