VOLUNTEER
PHONE SUPPORT

We understand how difficult and conflicting it can be when faced with a hound who has been affected by IVDD and how it’s not always possible (or comfortable) for owners to join an online forum.  In this instance, we have Volunteers who generously offer their time and expertise and can chat with you on the phone to guide and assist you.
Please understand that we are all Volunteers and may not be available, but we will do our best to call you once we have received your message.

HOW TO REACH OUT TO A VOLUNTEER FOR PHONE SUPPORT

1. FIRST SELECT THE STATE IN WHICH YOU LIVE AND FROM THE DROP-DOWN TABLE BELOW, THEN SELECT A VOLUNTEER MOST SUITABLE TO YOUR CASE (EG SURGERY/CONSERVATIVE).
2. SMS THE VOLUNTEER WITH YOUR NAME, LOCATION,  AND BRIEF DETAILS AND WAIT FOR THEM TO CALL YOU.  (VOLUNTEERS WILL NOT RESPOND TO CALLS FROM UNKNOWN NUMBERS)

NOTE:  DISA IS UNABLE TO ASSIST WITH EMERGENCY CARE, BOARDING OR ACCOMMODATION AS THIS IS NOT WITHIN OUR PURPOSE.  IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THESE TYPES OF SERVICES WE SUGGEST YOU REACH OUT TO YOUR VET, SPECIALIST, ALLIED SERVICE PROVIDER,  YOUR LOCAL DACHSHUND OWNERS’ GROUP OR DISA – ACCOMMODATION FOR IVDD HOUNDS.

NOTE:   DISA AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT VETERINARIANS OR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ADVICE IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR DACHSHUND IS DISPLAYING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF AN IVDD EPISODE.  FIRST SEEK URGENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE BEFORE ASKING TO JOIN THE SUPPORT FORUM.  NEED A SPECIALIST?

BLANKET DISCLAIMER

PLEASE CONSIDER AN IN-KIND DONATION FOR THIS SERVICE TO HELP DISA HAVE THE BACKS OF DACHSHUND OWNERS AUSTRALIA WIDE.
