krissy Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Today marked 6 weeks since Summit's IVDD surgery, following which he was completely paralyzed in all 4 legs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?edit=vd&v=2drlY8nTDd4 The body is a pretty amazing thing. We still need to work on improving strength, as he lost a lot of muscle during the 3 weeks that he was down, but neurologically he's pretty close to 100% I think. He is going for short walks around the block mostly right now, and hopefully we can build back up some of that muscle so he doesn't get tired so quickly.

Hawthorn Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It's very heartening to see him doing so well. Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greysmom Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Really amazing! You GO Summit! The vet recommended swim therapy for Cash to rebuild muscle, which she couldn't do due to her spookiness with other people, but Summit might like it.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
