The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) has started a project to describe the genetic conditions affecting companion animals and to explain their welfare consequences – their impacts on the animals’ quality of life – as clearly as possible.
Their article on Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) provides a comprehensive, science-based review and summary of the condition as it affects Dachshunds.
N.B. The collection of information and development of the UFAW site is a `work in progress'.
