Re: Rear legs paralysis - road accident
Our little friend developed complications today and we had to say our goodbyes. We knew there wasn't a 100% success rate with this but we were happy to give it a try, especially given some of the great stories on here (and our vets advice of course). The dog made the decision very easy because she w...

Re: Rear legs paralysis - road accident
That's great news about the improvement in the hind legs. Recovery from spinal injury is by tiny little improvements, one little bit at a time. That's why it takes time. I know it's hard to see them lying down during recovery, but hopefully with better pain medication she'll be more comfortable now...

Hi, Our terrier had an accident with a truck four days ago - no visible damage but she has no use of her back legs now. She's 11+ (a rescue so can't be accurate), previously in good shape. Vet x-rayed her and found nothing wrong with her bones. Vet confirmed she has deep pain sensation. She has cont...
