Hi MichelleSara1, Yes, he's a gorgeous dog. You did not mention a diagnosis, did your vet do any tests? Without knowing any test results but going by the description of how it happened playing ball, and seeing his feeling is coming back, it kind of sounds like a spinal stroke (FCE or fibrocartilagin...

That is brilliant, I'll have to remember that! I bookmarked it.

Sounds like she is doing really well!

No improvement walking wise, he tries but no go, he is pushing back alot better when I do the push the paws Thought about holding his front paws and have him try to stay on his rear paws, we used to dance a little, nothing fancy, I would have music on and ask him for this dance and we would for a c...

Hi Courtneycp, Congratulations on adopting! :D :wub: The part about being able to urinate voluntarily but still leaking in her diaper does not seem unusual. In fact, it is common in elderly female dogs who are not paralyzed. She does have some bladder control because she can push it out so well. She...

Tessa,

Don't know if you are still in Perth, but definitely thinking of you. Hope you guys are alright.

Hey Carol, had the first hydrotherapy treadmill session, she wasn't that keen as she's never been a huge fan of water and I think she found the treadmill a bit freaky. But I'm going to persevere with it as I think apart from the PT I do at home it's going to be the most helpful thing for her. This ...

I think if it was my dog, I would just try to adjust her diet so she has great stools. Here is an article about bowel management in incontinent pets. If your dog is doodling in the house, it is a minor issue when the stools are firm, low odor, and not sticky. https://handicappedpet.net/helppets/view...

Hi Baileyandmika! :hotpink: If she is happy, that is what matters, not what other people say. I think often people are just repeating something they heard from their father or grandfather years ago, and they didn't really think about it. Fortunately, times have changed. It took my dog longer than 8 ...

That is great news! Woohoo! Would love to hear how the hydrotherapy goes. They may start her with short sessions till she gets used to it, then build up the time in the water gradually. Congratulations!

Hi, my 7 year old lurcher, Nelly suffered a severe Acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion 7 weeks ago which rendered her completely paralysed from T13 down. With the exception of my daughter, I love this dog more than any human. At time of diagnosis, she was given a 10% chance of any reco...

Ohmygosh. I am so glad it is working. I am glad you tried another kind of chemo when the first one didn't work, and that you did it right away, and he is responding! It sounds amazing. I have never done chemo with a cat either. He sure looks like a snuggle kitty in his picture. I guess a 20 min infu...

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and hoping for a Good New Year Got the UTI and Ear infection gone hope for good Yay for that!!! Finally! :ecstatic: Skipper is trying so hard to walk, just not yet we still do exercises and massages daily mainly inside, been rainy here and cool tried to set outside a ...
