Before your email us please read the following:

DISA is a volunteer-run charity dedicated to educating and supporting dachshund owners about back health, what to do in an emergency and how to approach rehabilitation and conservative treatment.

We are not able to provide advice or assistance when it comes to rehoming or boarding an IVDD dog, nor are we able to provide financial assistance for your dog’s medical treatment.

One of our key objectives is to provide a well-researched website to assist owners to make well-informed choices when it comes to the management of their dog following an IVDD episode.  Before emailing us for information, visit our website and also consider joining the Owner’s Support Forum as most questions can be answered on both of these platforms.

DISA, its volunteers and representatives are not veterinarians or healthcare professionals, and owners should reach out and discuss healthcare matters with their pet care professionals.
