Lil buddy, dog paralyzed

[GTyner]

Hi everyone. Its been a week or so. Ill give u an update. My dog shadow was 1/2 paralyzed after he came home from his 3 day stay at the vet with steroid therapy. He could not pee on his own. We had to squeeze him to empty him. We kept him a lil doped at times to keep him still and sleep/rest. After 2 more days in diapers hes was starting to walk but not well. One of his legs just would not cooperate, and twist . At this point he started become noticabely better every day. After a few more days we didnt have to pee him any more. He still cant lift a leg but he can walk around and dribble when he wants to go. We r still trying to keep him still, but today he was walking pretty well. And even tried running a few times. Hes doing great. Hes been out of a diaper now a few days.

Good job I hope the best for you and your dog. we lost our 5 yr old long hair germen shepherd about 5 months ago. as I write this letter our 18 week old GSDog is napping by my feet---Gary

Great news about your dog. Ours is 12 and had a stroke about a month ago. Wife would take him out and he couldn’t move or eat/drink. This went on for a day and he was scheduled to see the vet for the last time who is out neighbor and friend. By then, however, the dog was noticeably improved! He was able to drink and eat a bit and get around some. Vet confirmed he had a stroke but also noted dogs often recovered pretty well from that and that sometimes they’re put down too quickly. He’s mostly recovered, but has slowed down a bit since then. He still loves the wife and hates me so, yeah, he’s fine.
