Could a shock from a shock collar or invisible fence collar trigger an autoimmune disorder or a relapse in the case of SRMA?
Answer by: Karen R. Muñana, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Neurology):
There is no evidence to suggest that use of a shock collar or invisible fence collar could serve as a trigger for SRMA.
