Quick over view. Peppa suffered an injury which caused acute disc explosion which caused paralysis. Steroids seem to help her walk, the neurologist does not know why... But it does. She can walk pretty well on 10mg but if dropped to 5mg she quickly declined, have also tried 10mg every other day but ...

Thank you. Maybe she has just over done it as she's been very active both in her wheels and walking around the house. Because her situation has baffled the neurologist I don't feel ringing anyone would help or her seeing anyone. I have contacted the vet for advice, she's OK in herself, I think maybe...

Peppa ruptured disc chasing a ball, injuring her spinal cord. This was 1 year ago. Her recovery was slow but when put on steriods 6 months in she started to be able to move her back legs more and do a kind of walking /bunny hop. Over the past few weeks she has been doing amazing and getrinf stronger...

Hi Peppa now has some wheels which she loves, she has also gained some movement in her legs and gets around the house a bit using them. I wondered if there was anything I could use with her legs to encourage her to use them while on wheels, she currently uses the stirrups and kicks them in their but...

Hi, is anyone still active on this post? My dog suffered exactly the same injury and we are now 1 year on.

Hi, I haven't posted in a while as I was having problems logging on. Testing with this one

Hi I am sorry to hear about your poor baby. My dog suffered from ANNPE which is an acute non compressive disk herniation. Very similar symptoms to FCE and the same treatments advised. The initial diagnosis was FCE but an MRI confirmed the disk ruptured. She too had severe almost immediate muscle was...

Yes she does that too! It's just so strange that it has happened over night, now there's no stopping her!

I agree, it's definitely a unique style but it's amazing, I can't stop recording her!!

It is very exciting! I am trying to establish between spinal walking and normal walking. I don't mind which it is its just lovely to see her upright so much more.

I have not been on the site for a while, we have seen little progress but not much. Until yesterday! Peppa has been prescribed steroids for an allergy and chronic itching and since taking them she has made huge progress with her walking and taking steps, could this be down to the steroids or a compl...

My dog Peppa had an acute herniated disc nearly 6 months ago and although has made some progress suddenly has been taking steps, she has just been put on steroids for allegy/chronic itching I was wondering if this has been the key to sudden huge progress and willingness to try and walk? Has anyone e...

Thank you for that information!

Yes it was an ANNPE that she had, not sure if prognosis differs from compressive disk??

Hi all I just wanted to post an update on Peppa! We are just over 3 months post accident and seeing great improvements. Treadmill hydrotherapy is going well and she can do some steps on her own, the muscle is building back up slowiy and the physio is really pleased with her. Had an ear problem so to...
