Dachshund IVDD Support Australia (DISA) volunteers moderate a Facebook group exclusively open to Dachshund owners residing in Australia and Oceania regions whose dogs have IVDD.
We are a community dedicated to raising awareness and supporting Dachshunds and their owners affected by Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). Whether you are seeking advice, sharing experiences, or seeking resources, this group is here to offer a supportive and informative space for all things IVDD-related.

Answer 3 screening questions and acknowledge the group rules. Unfortunately, incomplete responses will result in a declined request.
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 group. Need a specialist?
