Aw I’m very sorry you pup is going through this as well, thank you for sharing your story with me. It’s very sad to see our best pals go through this. Sophie is making some improvements but we don’t know when the progress will stop. They said she may only recover a little or could recover fully. Tha...

That’s exactly how I feel, I’m very excited f oh r her and I know she is too because now all she wants to do it try to move but I do not want her thinking she’s super dog and makes it worse where it won’t heal! It’s a fine line of do a little but not much. The vet said that’s great news and maybe le...

Thanks for everyone that has been following this post the last couple days our dog has made good progress and today when I took her out to go potty she was standing up on her own and walked by her self she’s also stood up on her own a couple times inside while she was in her crated enclosure and tak...

Thanks for the comment and photos! That’s a good idea because for being 10 she is very strong! She tries to pull me all over the back yard but I keep her as limited as I can. I’m glad she was able to get up but I’m also scared she is going to think she’s super dog and tries to do too much as she fra...

I am certainly trying to let her rest as much as possible, she is doing better albeit not much. I went to get something in the kitchen and our son goes Sophie bad dog! I came out and she was standing up, she got up on her own. I use a harness thing to take her potty so I hold her back end and now wh...

Hey thanks, she was not doom and gloom kind of straight forward which is fine but she certainly at least at this point has not brought up putting her down. She said she’s a healthy dog minus this issue and if we can adequately provide her a good life still there’s no reason not too. I am still hopin...

Hey thanks for the reply! She does not appear to have much pain honestly, you can try to make her back hurt like gently to moderately with your thumb all over and nothing, the vet said some dogs are very stoic and don’t show pain but then she could also not be in pain. We are not sure if it’s FCE or...

Hi thanks for replying! I am hopeful that with time she will at least regain some mobility. She is a big girl and right now we basically block her in with chairs to make a pen but can look into getting one. Unfortunately mri and surgery are out of my financial possibility at 8,000 dollars. The vet s...
