Our Charity provides a closed Owners Support Forum on Facebook, a special place where owners whose Dachshund has been bitten by the IVDD bug. It’s a private group because we understand with it comes to IVDD owners need a safe space to talk openly and not be judged. Every case, every hound and every owner’s needs are different.
If your Dachshund has been formally diagnosed with IVDD and you live in the Australian & Oceania regions and you would like to chat or engage with owners who have walked the walk we invite you to join!
Before requesting to join please read this important information
IVDD Support Forum by DISA is hosted by Dachshund IVDD Support Australia (Teckel Tails Ltd) and moderated by volunteers and supported by knowledgeable owners, who in many instances possess first-hand experience with IVDD. Membership is only open to Australian & Oceania based owners of Dachshunds who have been diagnosed with IVDD.
Dachshund IVDD Support Australia (Teckel Tails Ltd) is a charity dedicated to providing awareness, education and support about IVDD to owners & prospective owners and is an impartial identity that supports the rights of owners to make decisions based upon their circumstances.
