At the first animal hospital she still had deep pain sensation (she pulled her paw back a bit when they squeezed her paws with the tool)but by the time we got to NY they said she had no deep pain sensation or reflexes. she spent three days in the hospital, and when she was sent home she had regained her reflexes but still no deep pain. She didn’t have any type of movement whatsoever in her legs. Over the last few days, we have seen her legs twitching, tighten, lift very slightly, move her paw a tiny bit when tickling her paws, and she lifted her tail a little bit when she went to urinate (while laying). Her leg also seems to shake/very quick almost vibrating feeling at times, especially after doing stretches and home PT). When we sent videos to the neurologist, she seemed very pessimistic about it just saying that it’s probably just reflexes. But we were really praying that some of the twitching and tightening of her legs were some good signs. Even when we do some stretching at home and we have her on her feet she sometimes so stiff that she can almost stand with much less support from us. can anybody tell me what their very very first signs of improvement or recovery was? Besides the obvious of standing and walking. Another question I had is when did everyone start outpatient physical therapy? I thought we should start way before four weeks. But the Nuro insisted on crate rest until four weeks, no PT during them except the at home exercises. I understand not let her do any type of hard PT, but I feel laser therapy, possibly Hydro therapy, stretching, etc. would be good for her in these early stages. Any and all recommendations are appreciated! We are all truly devastated over this. so sorry if this was long-winded. We just are alll so very upset and really looking for any sign of hope.
post about the developments in understanding ANNPE in the veterinary community. Basically, I think they are still figuring it out. Here is a link to possibly give you some context on the when-to-do-PT decision.
If you ask me, any movement is good movement early in the game, reflex, intentional, or whatever; a complete paraplegic doesn't necessarily have any of that, so I take it!
