Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
Thank you all for your suggestions. I have removed Buddy off all three of his medicine as the doctor suggested to see if he really needs it. He has been off his medication for a week now and it seems like the medication actually do not help his condition. I am able to express him although it takes l...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
Hi Jean, I apologize for the late reply. School has started back up so I have been busy running around. I took him to the vet a few weeks ago and it seems like he has improved. I can express him better and it takes less time so the vet suggest I just keep him on his medication for a few more weeks a...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
Thank you, Jean, for your kind words. I love my Buddy A LOT. I thought everything over and I have to make sure that I try everything I can. I will definitely be setting up a Chip In once I get a better idea of how much everything will cost. I know his diagnostic tests are going to run me over a thou...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
Hi Everyone, I apologize for the late response. I have decided to keep Buddy and try to fundraise the money necessary to pay for his operation. I am going to bring him in to see a urologist to see what exactly needs to be done. He suffers from a T3-L3 lesion. He currently weighs 28 pounds. Although ...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
The neurologist said that he has an extended/"over-flowing" bladder due to being unable to be adequately expressed due to trauma to the penis. They recommend I go see the urologist. I bring him to the UCD Vet Hospital, which has a specialist in every field. The suggestion was I go see a ne...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
Hi Everyone, In the beginning I was concerned that it was my inability to express Buddy properly which was causing the problem. However, I brought him to a vet and then to a specialist and they both were unable to successfully express him. He would continue to dribble but when you push on his bladde...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
I am actually not sure what type of surgery he needs but I know for a fact that he needs surgery since he cannot be expressed. He is just dribbling. I will take him to urologist to get diagnostic tests done. Although I cannot afford it, I will apply for Care Credit and try to figure out what exactly...

Re: CA: Paralyzed Welsh Corgi Needs Help
His penis does not retract back into the prepuce so while I was taking an exam, Buddy somehow took off his diapers and dragged himself around the room. While dragging his body around the room he accidentally stepped on his actual penis and cut it/smashed it badly. His penis did not heal back normall...
