The PT told us to put her in the standing postion as much as possible, as far as the tub goes the only thing she told us was fill the tub up past the top of her legs and put her in the standing postion and push on her butt. She said we could try to get her a kiddie pool and walk her in that but it w...

Smithpk85 I just wanted to tell you thank you for your advice about the water therapy. We took have been taking Jasmine for 3 weeks to laser therapy which had helped a lot and we have seen a lot of improvement. However this weekend we made the drive to the closet therapy place and it was well worth ...

My dog does that sometimes, she will curl her toes around my thumb. Her new therapist told me that it is a good sign it means it feels good to her which means she has some feeling.

Thank you all for your replies. This site has really helped me and my family. It has been a long 2 months but Jasmine seems to be improving each and everyday and most of all she is happy. She started water therapy this past Saturday and she walked on the underwater treadmill. Her therapist said her ...

Hi Carmen That is great about her tail wag. I know i was so happy when Jasmine first wagged her tail I called my mom right away it was almost 11 clock at night. That is really great she is showing signs of improvement. I know how you feel that you want to listen to the vet but also don't want to hur...

I just wanted to post another update, Jasmine is doing very well. Each day we see improvements and she went and saw her vet over the weekend and her vet was very happy with her improvement in the past 3 weeks. She starts water therapy on Saturday and still be doing laser therapy every other week. Th...

Dear Carmen I also contact Colonial Park and I they told me the samething that your pet has to use them as a vet in order to do therapy with them and we just love our vet I drive a little over an hour into Maryland to take Jasmine to her vet and we did not want to change either. Plus I kind of thoug...

From what I have read and was told by my vet, the laser therapy alleviates and pain and siffness which helps them move better. It runs around $40 a session with our vet. Jasmine had to do it for three weeks straight, it was 3 times the first week and 2 times the next week and then once the last week...

Dear Carmen Thank you for asking, Jasmine is doing good, each day we see little things improve. She went and saw her vet on Saturday and she was very happy with how far she has come. She has been in laser therapy for 3 weeks now and just since that started we have seen major improvements and she sta...

They showed us the fingertip method. Her neurologist however told us to put her in a standing postion and express her that way but she was getting all over her, they showed us by laying her on her side on a puppy training pad and now she does not get it on herself.

Dianne We have been to there 3 times since this has started, The first time was night she first started having problems walking and standing, and the other two times were because we could not express her and they were excellent each time. The two time we went in because we could not express her they...

Hi Carmen I read your post and wanted to tell you had the samething happen with my cocker spaniel that we have to express. Just as you were worried we called our vet and she told me it is normal to have some discharge and has long as it was little in color not to worry. That dogs that can go to the ...

I wanted to see if anyone had any input on this matter, my dog who has been paralyzed for just over 7 weeks now has started moving her tail a lot. At first it was just when we would put her in a standing postion to express her on right after we expressed her, but in the past week she has started to ...

Thank you for your reply, i am glad to hear your Maggie is doing so well. It is nice to hear from others that have gone through this and to hear what they think and are what they are doing for their pets.

Gabi, thanks for the info, I have heard that the cost can add up. So thank you for the heads up.
