Laur Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 he lost everything on his left side..vision, hearing, balance... He drooled and his left lip was floopy as was his left ear. When he felt like eating he chewed funny because half his tongue was affected. He maintained control over his bowels and bladder...but needed help and support to walk and stand. Two people and a towel, because his bendy long body was warping 3 different directions. I heard a strange noise in the dining room that morning and went to check it out and saw it happening. I was able to catch him and hold him and talk to him as it happened. I'll never forget the look in his face, in his eyes, as his body was betraying him. Well...1 year later and you wouldn't even know !! Aside from his left rear toes dragging when he is really tired ..he made a complete recovery !! He is even more loved at the Nursing home where he has been a St John Ambulance Therapy for 3 1/2 years..they call him ''the dog that understands" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
