recent dog paralysis
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 8:54 pm
I am looking for any advice or similar stories to mine.
I have a 5 year old dachshund named Oakie. 3 weeks ago we woke up to him hunched up in pain then by the next morning he couldn’t walk. I took him to the vet and they told me he only has a 50 % chance of ever walking again.
At the start of this on week one he has no feeling at all in his hind legs. You could pinch his toes and he had no feeling at all.. on week two he wagged the tip of his tail a little and when given a bath he would shake his whole body to get dry. He also started licking and biting his hind legs and can stand if you help with his balance. Now week 3 when I pinched his foot he jerks away and bends his leg!
I don’t want to be getting my feelings up but I want to know if these are good improvements or am I just hoping to much?
