I read a really interesting study at least 5 times through yesterday on spinal walking. Seems like this may be Penny’s best chance. Odds maybe lower because she’s a tall dog though. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7479830/

Hello all.. Penny is soon to be 4 and had sudden paralysis on 3/10 followed by MRI and surgery the next day. She begins rehab this Tuesday. Wondering if anyone here can share similar experience and how recovery and rehab went. The most alarming thing so far has to be how quickly her muscles are atrophying. We are of course doing a lot of passive range of motion with her, massage, and standing her over our legs. Physio balls are a challenge as they don't fit a tall deep chested dog well. Contemplating building her a custom padded stand in order to keep her up longer and move her legs more. But it's only been 3 weeks and we just got the green light to take her to physical therapy.
