GreyPoopon Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 That's very hard to watch. I can't imagine living with it. But, as others have mentioned, he's trying. In the second clip, he's doing quite well. I'm so hoping for the best for Alan and Katie-bug.

Guest greytfulhounds Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Northcoast Greyhounds has a link to the below harness on their website. This might help you with Alan until he recovers. Edited to add the web address for Northcoast Greyhound Support as the link does not seem to be working www.northcoastgreyhounds.net.

Guest AmyB Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) A harness helped Gretchen a lot. It gave her confidence while she learned to walk again. I still have the one that Diane (burpdog) sent me. I can send it to you if you want (I don't know how big Alan is...Gretchen is 67 pounds or so). By the way, I think Alan looks pretty good, all things considered. Gretchen was like that at first (after overcoming complete paralysis), and she recovered.

Guest vahoundlover Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Suzie I sent you a long PM but I think it ended up in the nether region..I didn't want to send it again, in case you DID get it. Allan and I both watched all the videos....we both felt that Alan was doing better than Boss did when his mess started...there is Hope! Boss now walks around the immediate block and will let us know if we are shorting him of his walking time. Keeping ALL of you in my prayers....I wish I could be there to help you guys.

Madeara Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Oh I hope he gets better He seems to be able to balance once positioned. He seems to have control up high, and somewhere it stops in his leg. It does not look painful but hard for me to say, do you think at this point it is?
