Re: Onset Paralysis

Wow to all of this!!! That breaks my heart & also stirs me up at the inconsiderate comment from some stranger. It truly goes to show that some people don't know what's really going on. You are so right - a lot of people are under or uneducated on this. Heck, WE were uneducated until we had to le...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., Wow! What a weekend! We found Cece girl a permanent home with a family who is already in love with her! I went to school with their daughter & she asked me what made me think of her. Truly, just from knowing them & knowing they have dogs of their own, knowing they had lost their gol...

Re: Onset Paralysis

This is all so helpful. I really appreciate these things that you point out that I should ask my vet. Being my first time, I truly don't know the next 'steps'. We know that we hope to see him walk again & what progress looks like. What we don't know to notice when he may be digressing & what...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Happy Friday, everyone! We had our PT trip yesterday! Kaitlyn, our PT vet, says that Kujo has great muscle mass in his back legs & that it seems to continue growing. She mentioned that his right foot (not leg) has started falling more behind. He has managed around the yard by galloping while fav...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Hello Friends & Happy Holidays! I have been offline for a while to say the least. We have been so busy but I would like to update you guys! I also have a few questions to ask that I have also asked our PT Vet. I would like to hear opinions from pet owners who deal with things like this on a dail...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., I hate to hear that...really. I know how excited Kujo gets for his appointments, so I hate thinking you guys were let down. Like you said, we may not expect big results so that we don't crush our spirits, but that doesn't mean we don't still want to see those results more than anything. Hav...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Hi CarolC. & Critters, We had our appointment last week for the first time in 3 weeks and it was long over due!! He only enjoyed cold laser and had to miss out on the underwater treadmill, sadly. We are scheduled for another appointment on the 14th for both laser & water therapy as well as t...

Re: Onset Paralysis

You guys are amazing. We have done several of the exercises that were shared! When we did the treat under the leg, Kujo struggled a little at first. I attempted to show him what I was trying to get him to do by placing the treat under his foot & then tickling his toes which would cause him to mo...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Critters, That is so sad. People like that can kick rocks. You are his angel!! :angel: I will make sure that we continue to correct his knuckling if & when it happens! I'd hate to add more to his plate than he already has. He is REALLY trying to stand up but when he does, he is pulling himself f...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., We have had our hands full, for sure!! I cannot complain. We went swimming, I believe, 4 times from Friday-Monday & he enjoyed every minute. We went Tuesday as well & plan on going today if the rain will hold off! We have a yoga ball but have been worried that it was too large. We h...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Critters & CarolC., I posted a few days ago but now I'm not seeing my OP. We aren't able to take Kujo to see his rehab team until the 20th of this month. We've been worried that the gap would cause issues in Kujo's recovery but I keep reminding myself that not every dog that recovers has access ...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Hi CarolC & Critters, We found some styptic powder that night at our local pet store! We tend to over-react when we don't even know it, lol. We have an appointment today for Kujo to see his rehab team! He will do the water treadmill & cold laser, each for an hour. We got to take him swimming...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Critters & CarolC., You both are so encouraging and helpful, I can't say thank you enough. Yes, definitely a typo!! Hopefully, Kujo is apart of the bigger percentages when we look back at his recovery over the next couple of months. We usually do therapy with his rehab team on Thursdays. Sadly, ...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., Jumping for joy doesn't even begin to describe it. :cheerleader: They told us "at 3 months you have a good idea of what you'll be dealing with & after 6 months, there is usually no improvement." That has stuck with me so hard because I felt like if he wasn't doing x,y, or z by...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., I'm going to do some practicing with YouTube today and see if I can get some videos uploaded. We've had a busy weekend at home with Kujo, to say the least. Both my partner & I were off work this weekend, which is very unusual. We planned on taking Kujo to the pool Saturday, but the weat...
