Hi Cathy,
I haven't worked with Danes with IMPA or HOD but have worked with other breeds/dogs. What questions do you have?
I'm a veterinarian whose own dog had IMPA about 20 years ago. I'm a believer in trying eastern medicine when western medicine can't cure and is only treating symptoms. Definitely something to consider trying if you have access to an integrative vet med clinic. My dog responded really well and was off all immune supressing meds within two months, and i've seen it happen with others too.

Subject: IMPA OR HOD diseases
Has anyone dealt with Great Danes with either IMPA or HOD disease? We have two danes with IMPA and one with HOD and has been challenging to get medication and lifestyle dialed in.
Lexi and Levi have IMPA, seen a specialist and working on keeping them at a healthy weight and symptoms minimal.
Odin has HOD and we are still working on his medication but seems to be doing ok.
Any input would be appreciated.
