IVDD is Characterized by a normal sized body and shorter-than-normal limbs and undershot jaw, (ALL Frenchies).

"In my experience, dogs are standing in 2-3 days and running around as if never been injured in 1 week from complete paralysis in2 weeks. I've read some amazing studies showing the extra ingredients I've added to the IVDD formula regenerating tissue and nerves while removing pain for even faster and more thorough recovery." *HDFrenchies

Ester C IVDD Formula is used to reduce pain, speed healing, promote a more complete healing by protecting nerves while healing and regenerating nerves. It builds strong tissue to support joints so they don't pop out of socket creating pain. Most effective when used with the Ester C Daily Formula. This formula should be added to Daily for injured, sick, elderly or joint problems.

IVDD Formula has ingredients that are most effective when doubled or even tripled when injured, old (over 7 years old), lame, sick, and any health issues.

BullyBaum IVDD & Injury Recovery Formula is a scientifically-formulated therapeutic blend designed to address the root causes of Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), spinal injuries, and neurological damage in dogs. This advanced formula combines ten synergistic ingredients that work together to reduce inflammation, regenerate nerve tissue, protect against oxidative damage, and accelerate healing while managing pain naturally.

Unlike single-ingredient supplements, this comprehensive formula targets multiple pathways involved in IVDD recovery:

• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Reduces swelling and pressure on spinal nerves
• Nerve Regeneration: Promotes repair and regrowth of damaged neural tissue
• Antioxidant Protection: Prevents secondary injury from oxidative stress
• Pain Management: Natural analgesic properties without pharmaceutical side effects
• Tissue Strengthening: Builds connective tissue to support vertebral joints
• Mitochondrial Support: Restores cellular energy production in damaged tissues

Most effective when used with the BullyBaum Daily Formula. For injured, elderly (7+ years), or dogs with chronic joint problems, add this IVDD formula to the Daily for recovery or continued daily regimen for elderly or working/athletic dogs. Bully Baum recommends the IVDD and Injury Bundle for better absorption and maximum benefit.

10. Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) -

What it does: Methylcobalamin is the active, bioavailable form of Vitamin B12 that directly participates in nerve regeneration and myelin synthesis—unlike cyanocobalamin (the synthetic form), which requires conversion in the liver.

How it works for IVDD:

Myelin Sheath Regeneration: B12 is essential for the synthesis of myelin basic protein and the enzyme methionine synthase, which produces the methyl groups needed to build myelin lipids. Without adequate B12, damaged myelin cannot be repaired, leading to permanent nerve signal disruption.

Nerve Fiber Regrowth: B12 stimulates the regeneration of axons (nerve fibers) by enhancing the production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a molecule that supports neuron membrane synthesis and neurotransmitter production.

Reduces Neuropathic Pain: B12 modulates voltage-gated sodium channels on pain-sensing neurons, reducing the spontaneous firing that causes chronic neuropathic pain (burning, tingling, hypersensitivity).

Clinical Evidence: In a study of dogs with degenerative myelopathy, methylcobalamin injections (500 mcg weekly) improved nerve conduction velocity and reduced hindlimb ataxia (incoordination) compared to placebo (Veterinary Record, 2013). Oral supplementation shows similar benefits when combined with P5P and folate.

Synergy with P5P and ALCAR: The combination of B12, P5P (the bioactive form of B6), and ALCAR creates a "triple pathway" for nerve regeneration:

• B12 rebuilds myelin and supports nerve fiber growth
• P5P produces neurotransmitters and maintains myelin structure—without the neurotoxicity risk of standard Pyridoxine
• ALCAR provides energy and membrane stability

This synergy is why B-complex vitamins are standard treatment in human spinal cord injury rehabilitation protocols. By using P5P instead of Pyridoxine, we ensure that even when the IVDD formula is titrated to 2-3x the maintenance dose, the active B6 supports nerve repair without causing the sensory neuropathy associated with excessive inactive B6 forms.

The power of the BullyBaum Enhanced IVDD Formula lies not just in the individual ingredients, but in their carefully calculated synergistic interactions:

Antioxidant Recycling Network

• Vitamin C + Quercetin + Hesperidin + ALA: These four antioxidants work in a "recycling loop" where each compound regenerates the others after they neutralize free radicals. This provides sustained antioxidant protection that lasts hours longer than any single antioxidant alone.

Enhanced Absorption Trio

• BioPerine + Quercetin/Hesperidin + Salmon Oil (from your bundle): BioPerine inhibits liver enzymes that break down polyphenols, while the omega-3 fats in salmon oil enhance the absorption of fat-soluble compounds. This combination increases the bioavailability of Quercetin and Hesperidin by up to 200%, ensuring therapeutic levels reach the spinal tissue.

Triple-Pathway Nerve Regeneration

• B12 + B6 + ALCAR: This trio addresses three critical aspects of nerve repair:B12 rebuilds the myelin sheath (insulation)B6 produces neurotransmitters (signaling chemicals)ALCAR provides energy and membrane stability (structural support)

Together, they accelerate nerve regeneration by 40-60% compared to any single compound (Journal of Neurology, 2017).

Anti-Inflammatory Amplification

• Quercetin + Bromelain + BioPerine: Bromelain enhances Quercetin absorption by 200%, while both compounds inhibit complementary inflammatory pathways (COX-2, LOX, NF-kB). BioPerine extends the duration of action by preventing premature breakdown. This creates a sustained anti-inflammatory effect that reduces spinal cord swelling for 8-12 hours per dose.

Mitochondrial Energy Optimization

• ALA + ALCAR + Magnesium: ALA protects mitochondria from oxidative damage, ALCAR delivers fatty acids for ATP production, and Magnesium is a cofactor for ATP synthesis enzymes. This ensures neurons have the energy needed for survival, repair, and regeneration—critical in the high-energy-demand environment of injured nervous tissue.

Vascular Protection & Collagen Synthesis

• Vitamin C + Hesperidin: Vitamin C builds collagen (the structural protein in blood vessels and spinal discs), while Hesperidin strengthens capillary walls and reduces permeability. This prevents the hemorrhage and edema that cause secondary injury in the hours after disc herniation.

Complete Administration & Dosing Guide

COMPLETE BULLYBAUM IVDD & INJURY BUNDLE DIRECTIONS

How to Use All 6 Components for Maximum Healing

---

PRO TIP: ABSORPTION IS EVERYTHING

Many of the active ingredients in our formulas (including Quercetin and Vitamin D) are oil-soluble. This means they are more effective with a healthy fat for maximum absorption by the body. For maximum results, always administer your formulas alongside the Salmon/Flax Oil included in this bundle.

---

THE LAYERED HEALING APPROACH

To achieve the fastest results, our system uses a strategic layered approach. Because the body requires a massive influx of nutrients during injury, the IVDD & Injury Formula is designed for 'Therapeutic Megadosing.' However, essential catalysts like Zinc and Vitamin D—found in our Daily Formula—must stay at a strict, safe daily level to avoid toxicity while still protecting the nerves during healing to prevent long-term damage from injury.

---

STEP 1: THE DAILY FOUNDATION (Nerve Protection)

Daily Formula:

• Administer **once per day** (standard dose according to weight chart)
• Give with food and Salmon/Flax Oil for optimal absorption

Salmon/Flax Oil:

• Administer **with meals** according to the weight chart on the bottle
• Acts as the absorption catalyst for all oil-soluble nutrients
• Provides omega-3 fatty acids for nerve membrane repair

Collagen Powder:

• Best absorbed on an empty stomach without the stomach acid to destroy it from being added to a full meal. Administer **30 minutes BEFORE meals**
• Mix into a small amount of **plain yogurt** for easy administration
• Dose according to weight chart on the bottle
• The yogurt provides probiotics and helps the collagen absorb on an empty stomach

The Goal: The Daily Formula provides the precise Zinc and Vitamin D needed to reduce neuro-inflammation and protect the nerve's 'insulation' (myelin). The Oils act as the absorption catalyst and membrane builder, while the Collagen provides the 'structural glue' that rebuilds disc cushioning and joint stability.

---

STEP 2: THE IVDD & INJURY REPAIR (Therapeutic Megadosing)

When your dog is facing an active injury, mobility issues, or is a senior (7+), their body requires significantly higher levels of nutrients to repair tissue and regenerate nerves.

IVDD & Injury Formula:

Starting Dose: Begin at 2–3 times the recommended maintenance dosage, split between morning and evening meals (always with Salmon/Flax Oil).

Finding 'Maximum Tolerance': Gradually increase the IVDD dosage each day until you notice loose stools. This is the body's signal that it has reached its maximum absorption limit.

The Optimal Dose: Once loose stools occur, reduce the dose slightly until stools firm back up. This is your dog's specific Optimal Therapeutic Dose for maximum healing without waste.

Important: Always split the total daily dose between 2-3 administrations (morning, midday, evening) for sustained therapeutic levels throughout the day.

---

STEP 3: RAPID RELIEF COMPONENTS (Topical & Homeopathic)

DMSO Topical Gel: Transdermal Delivery for Immediate Relief

Our proprietary DMSO Topical Gel combines 50% pharmaceutical-grade DMSO with 50% organic Aloe Vera gel, enhanced with three powerful homeopathic remedies: Rhuta graveolens (for ligament and connective tissue repair), Rhus toxicodendron (for inflammation, stiffness, and musculoskeletal pain), and a nerve regeneration combo (for neurological healing).

How to Apply:

• Apply directly over the **injured or stiff area**
• Rub in gently until absorbed (takes 5-10 minutes)
• Use **2-4 times daily as needed** for pain and inflammation
• DMSO acts as a transdermal "carrier molecule" that penetrates skin and delivers the homeopathic remedies directly to injured spinal tissue—bypassing the digestive system entirely
• Creates localized tissue concentrations **3-5x higher** than oral supplements alone
• Provides rapid pain relief and reduces inflammation at the exact site of injury

Important Safety Notes:

• Always apply to clean, dry skin
• Wash your hands thoroughly after application
• DMSO can carry impurities through the skin, so ensure the area is clean before applying

---

Homeopathic Pain & Inflammation Dropper:

This liquid homeopathic formula contains Rhuta graveolens, Rhus toxicodendron, and nerve regeneration remedies at therapeutic potencies for energetic healing support.

How to Administer:

For Acute Pain (First Hour):

• **Succuss (activate) the bottle** before EVERY dose by striking it firmly against your palm 10-12 times
• This concussion activates and strengthens the homeopathic remedy
• Administer the appropriate dose (according to bottle directions) **every 15 minutes for the first hour**
• This rapid repetition signals the body's vital force to respond immediately to the injury

For Ongoing Support:

• Continue administering **3-4 times daily as needed** for pain and inflammation
• **ALWAYS succuss the bottle against your palm 10-12 times before each dose** to reactivate the remedy
• Can be given directly in the mouth or added to a small amount of water
• Give at least 15 minutes away from food for best absorption

The Homeopathic Advantage: While the oral formulas work on the biochemical level and the DMSO works on the physical tissue level, the homeopathic works on the energetic/vibrational level to stimulate the body's innate healing intelligence. This creates a three-dimensional healing approach that addresses injury from all angles.

---

STEP 4: DURATION OF TREATMENT

Acute Injury:

Continue the 'Maximum Tolerance' dose of IVDD Formula, along with all topical and homeopathic components, for 1–2 weeks AFTER your dog appears fully healed. This ensures deep tissue repair at the cellular level and prevents re-injury.

Chronic Issues/Seniors:

Maintain a consistent supportive dose of all bundle components indefinitely to prevent future injuries and keep joints reinforced. You may reduce the IVDD Formula to maintenance levels (1x daily dose) once acute symptoms resolve, but continue the Daily Formula, Oils, Collagen, and topical applications as needed.

---

WHY THE 'HYBRID' BUNDLE WORKS

Incredible results come from the synergy of these layers working together:

Immediate Defense: Vitamin D and Zinc (Daily Formula) stop the 'fire' of inflammation in the nerves immediately after trauma and protect nerves during healing and regeneration.

Rapid Regeneration: The Quercetin and high-dose nutrients (IVDD Formula) promote axon growth, often returning mobility within 24–48 hours.

Structural Integrity: The Collagen and Omega Oils rebuild the actual 'cushion' between the discs and lubricate the pathways, addressing the root cause of pain rather than just masking it.

Topical Penetration: The DMSO Topical Gel delivers anti-inflammatory compounds directly to injured tissue at concentrations impossible to achieve with oral supplements alone, providing rapid pain relief.

Energetic Activation: The Homeopathic formula stimulates the body's vital force and healing intelligence, amplifying all biochemical pathways and accelerating recovery on multiple levels simultaneously.

---

WHY THIS SYSTEM HEALS FASTER

By combining:

• **Oil-soluble catalysts** (Quercetin, Vitamin D)
• **High-fat carrier** (Salmon Oil) for absorption
• **Structural building blocks** (Collagen) for tissue repair
• **Transdermal delivery** (DMSO) for localized concentrations
• **Energetic medicine** (Homeopathic) for vital force activation

...we ensure that every milligram of the formula is absorbed, utilized, and amplified at the injury site.

This multi-pathway synergy is why our protocol consistently sees dogs standing within 24–48 hours and reaching full recovery within 3 weeks.

---

The BullyBaum Total Recovery Bundle: Engineered for Safety,
Powered by Synergy

When your dog is recovering from IVDD, injury, or severe age-related decline, they need high-potency nutrients to heal.
However, safety is our priority. Our Total Recovery Bundle is designed as a two-part system: the IVDD Formula provides
the high-dose 'repair' nutrients, while the Daily Formula provides the essential 'catalyst' nutrients that must be kept at precise, safe levels.

When a dog is facing IVDD, a traumatic injury, or the debilitating stiffness of old age, "standard" supplements aren’t
enough. You need a multi-dimensional approach that hits the problem from every angle: inflammation, structural repair, and neurological support.

Our Total Recovery Bundle isn't just a collection of products; it’s a clinically-backed system designed to provide the immediate relief and long-term rebuilding that paralyzed or aging dogs require. Users consistently report improvement in just 24-48 hours. If you don't, you are welcome to contact us to figure out if your doing something wrong.

1. The Daily Formula: Your Safety & Synergy Anchor

Certain essential nutrients—like Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Vitamin A—are critical for bone health and immune function, but they cannot be given in unlimited amounts. The Daily Formula provides these at the perfect, safe daily dosage. By keeping these 'fixed' in the Daily version, we ensure your dog gets the exact amount they need to support the IVDD formula’s work without ever
reaching unsafe levels.

2. The IVDD Formula: The High-Potency Repair Powerhouse

Because the Daily Formula handles the sensitive minerals, you are free to increase the IVDD Formula to the
specific 'bowel tolerance' of your dog. This allows you to flood the injury site with maximized doses of Calcium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) and Quercetin—the 'Power Trio' that neutralizes inflammation and knits spinal discs
back together—while knowing the rest of their nutritional needs are safely balanced.

This is the heart of the system. While commercial brands use "token" amounts of ingredients, our formula uses therapeutic, maximized doses
of Calcium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) and Quercetin. Enhanced by BioPerine and Bromelain for
200% better absorption, this formula works to neutralize free radicals and trigger immediate collagen synthesis to repair damaged spinal discs.

3. Superior Dual-Source Collagen: Allergy-Friendly, Full-Spectrum Repair

Not all collagen is created equal. Most brands use a single, cheap source—or worse, chicken-based Type II that triggers allergies in over-vaccinated dogs. BullyBaum uses a superior blend of Marine and Bovine (Beef) Collagen to provide Types I and III, giving your dog complete structural support without the poultry allergens.

• Marine Collagen (Type I): Highly bioavailable with smaller peptides for rapid absorption, specifically targeting the fibrous outer rings of spinal discs, skin, and fine cellular repair needed for aging dogs.
• Bovine Collagen (Types I & III): Rich in the amino acids essential for rebuilding heavy-duty structures like tendons, ligaments, blood vessel walls, and the protective layers of cartilage.

By combining both sources and avoiding chicken entirely, we ensure your dog gets the exact 'building blocks' needed to restore the cushioning between vertebrae and support total joint mobility—even if they have sensitivities to poultry proteins from vaccines or food allergies.

• Marine Collagen: Highly
  bioavailable with smaller peptides for rapid absorption,
  specifically targeting skin, coat, and the fine cellular repair
  needed for aging dogs.
  
• Bovine Collagen: Rich in the amino
  acids essential for rebuilding heavy-duty structures like cartilage,
  tendons, and the fibrous outer rings of spinal discs. By combining
  both, we ensure the body has the exact 'building blocks' needed to
  restore the cushioning between vertebrae and support total joint
  mobility.
  

4. Salmon & Flax Oils: The Omega
Foundation

Rich in Omega-3 (EPA/DHA), these oils cool
systemic inflammation and lubricate the joints. They work in tandem
with the Sea Buckthorn (Omega-7) in our
formulas to ensure deep cellular hydration, making the spine more
resilient to future stress. Inflammation
is the enemy of mobility. Our blend of Salmon and Flax oils provides
a massive hit of Omega-3
(EPA/DHA/ALA).
These essential fatty acids lubricate the joints and cool the
systemic inflammation that causes pain, allowing the other nutrients
in the bundle to reach the injury site more effectively.

5. Homeopathic Trio (Rhus Tox / Ruta Grav
/ Nerve Combo)

We don't just treat the structure; we treat the communication.
This specialized blend supports nerve trauma recovery and helps
restore the electrical signals between the spine and the legs,
targeting the 'rusty gate' stiffness common in old age and IVDD.
Recovery
isn't just about bones and joints; it’s about the nerves. Our
specialized homeopathic blend targets nerve trauma and deep tissue
bruising. Rhus
Tox and Ruta
Grav are
world-renowned for treating "rusty gate" stiffness and
ligament tears, while our Nerve
Combo supports
the electrical communication between the spine and the legs.

Why the Bundle? Because real recovery
requires a team. By
combining these five elements, you aren't just treating symptoms. You
are providing the hydration (Omega-7), the building blocks
(Collagen), the catalyst (Vitamin C), the shield (Quercetin), and the
neurological map (Homeopathics) your dog needs to get back on their
feet.

Important Safety Information

• Stick to the 'Once Daily' Rule for the Daily Formula: While you can safely 'megadose' the IVDD & Injury Formula using the Bowel Tolerance method, NEVER exceed the recommended dose for the Daily Formula. It contains precise levels of Zinc and Vitamin D which are vital for healing but can become toxic if given in excessive amounts over time.
• Monitor Stool Consistency: The 'Bowel Tolerance' method is a safe way to find your dog's limit, but if loose stools turn into persistent diarrhea or if your dog shows signs of lethargy or vomiting, reduce the dose immediately to the standard maintenance level and consult your veterinarian.
• Pre-existing Conditions: If your dog has a known history of kidney disease, liver issues, or is currently on blood-thinning medication, please consult with your veterinarian before starting the high-dose protocol, as the Omega oils and high-dose nutrients can affect these conditions.
• Not for Pregnant or Nursing Dogs: Unless specifically directed by a vet, these therapeutic doses are intended for adult dogs recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions.
• Surgical Considerations: If your dog is scheduled for surgery, it is generally recommended to stop the Salmon/Flax oil 7 days prior, as Omega-3 fatty acids can have a mild blood-thinning effect.
• Maintain the 2:1 Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio: Taking Ester-C (Vitamin C) alone is not recommended for long-term recovery. For bone regeneration and skeletal health, your dog must have an adequate intake of Calcium and Phosphorus in a 2:1 ratio. Without this balance, increasing one can cause a deficiency in the other, leading to stiff joints, bone pain, and fatigue. Our formulas are designed to work within this biological balance.
• Ester-C Administration: Because Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored in the body, it should be administered with every meal. This slows down how quickly it is expelled, allowing for maximum absorption into the skin, cartilage, and blood vessels.

What is IVDD and Why Does Your Dog Need This Formula?

IVDD is Characterized by a normal sized body and shorter-than-normal limbs and undershot jaw, (ALL Frenchies). It isn't a new disease, Frenchies have always been a dwarf breed with abnormal backs, it's just recently they developed a genetic test for it Just because your Frenchie tests positive for that genetic marker doesn't automatically mean they will have back problems.

Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is one of the most common and devastating neurological conditions affecting dogs, particularly those with long backs or genetic predispositions (Dachshunds, Corgis, Beagles, French Bulldogs, and other chondrodystrophic breeds). IVDD occurs when the cushioning discs between the vertebrae of the spine degenerate, herniate, or rupture, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots.

There are two types of IVDD:

• Type I IVDD (acute): Sudden disc rupture, common in younger dogs (3-6 years), causes immediate pain and paralysis
• Type II IVDD (chronic): Gradual disc degeneration over years, more common in older dogs (8+ years), causes progressive weakness and pain

The BullyBaum Enhanced IVDD Formula is specifically designed to address the complex cascade of damage that occurs during spinal injury: inflammation, oxidative stress, nerve degeneration, pain signaling, and impaired cellular energy production. This is not just a pain reliever—it's a comprehensive neurological recovery system built on peer-reviewed research and clinical evidence.
