Re: Onset Paralysis

Also, I really wish I could upload videos here. I have a couple that show him walking with his left leg, tail wagging, and even the scratchies. All will be shown to his vet Thursday so they can know of the improvements being made at home.

Re: Onset Paralysis

That is actually what we first did when we brought him home. He seemed to pick up on the gist of things pretty quickly, so we left the leash alone. Like you said, with two people, it is so much easier. We really have had a smooth week since we picked him up. They changed medications to help with his...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., Doggy Bootcamp has me dying laughing. :lol: You are not lying about the raw food. We looked into that a couple months back before the accident took place & we agreed it was a lot that we nor his vet thought was NEEDED. Kind of crazy, looking back! He will do along the lines of what you'...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Critters & CarolC., We are back from the beach!! We missed our boy like heck but it was totally worth it in the long end. Kujo had a great week with his therapy team, doing 4 total sets of treatment. He did water therapy on the treadmill & followed that with cold laser. They told us that he ...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., That is so true. Every last word. From no two dogs being alike, to our world being on "microwave time", you perfectly put things into a great perspective. Today, I went on my lunch break & since my partner was off, I had assistance & could walk Kujo to the front yard in hi...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., Thank you so very much. We have also been a little confused with Kujo's day to day & week to week improvements. There are things, like him bending his leg at the knee joint, that we see & assume that it is improvement. There hasn't been any noticeable decline that we KNOW of. We are...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., I believe that may be what we go with. Plus, my mom said it best. We need to take care of ourselves in order to take care of him to the best we can. The rest of the family will be gone for 10 days but we will only stay 4 nights. Still seems too long without my boy. I am in no way requesting...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC., When I spoke with his rehab tech, she assured me of a few things. They are a facility that is 24 hours since they are emergency specialists. They are open to the public until 10 p.m. on weekdays, but have nurses/techs there around the clock. So, he will be checked on routinely throughout th...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Critters & CarolC., He has completely adjusted to only being sedated at night. It honestly wasn't a huge transition like I was expecting to see (possibly because we had already seen the worst of the "backwards schedule" or so I pray). We went to the pool Wednesday, Tallahassee for PT T...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Hey there CarolC., We have been busy bee's since we got him home but I can not complain. Being from a religious background, when Kuj first "went down" & we had to leave him in Tallahassee, I prayed for what seemed like nonstop. Specifically for him to come home HEALTHY. So, prayers wer...

Stroke Recovery & Insomnia in Dogs

First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who has responded with helpful tips, tricks, and advice to help us get through this time. Kujo is slowly but steadily making a recovery. We had PT down in Tally yesterday & Ms. Kathy (his rehab vet) said that when Kuj was in the water treadmill h...

Re: Onset Paralysis

Carol C. & Critters, Thank you both for your endless support & help throughout this situation. It's extremely hard to seek help from someone out of state or someone who flat out just doesn't understand what needs to be done. With the tips I've been given, I can breathe a breath of fresh air ...

Re: Onset Paralysis

CarolC,


Can I ask where you purchased that accessory that your baby has on? It looks to be a potty wrap and the quality looks amazing. If that wasn't what it is, then please correct me. I'm no professional, so I'm finding new things every day for Kujo.

Thank you. :wub:

Re: Onset Paralysis

Hey CarolC, Thank you for being my sound voice during this time, I have mentioned you and your amazing advice several times to my boyfriend and our parents when they ask what's new with our boy. We have noticed much less bloating today. He was very gassy last night and ended up using the bathroom 3 ...
