5 days ago I tossed my puppy onto the bed. When he landed he started to cry and his back legs were limp. I rushed him to the vet and the vet said he had deep pain response. He stayed over night at the vet and in the morning the vet said he didn’t have the pain response anymore. So I rushed him to a specialist to have an MRI done. I was then told that my puppy likely had traumatic vertebral subluxation/reduction. He stayed over night and was give meds. I picked him up the next day and was told he has no control over any of his bows and I have to express him, and there was a 50/50 chance he would recover. I have done physical therapy every day in the bath. I have now seen him pee on his own and try to stand up. His paralyzed legs seem to stretch on there own along with his front paws (he has feeling there). His back paws will sometimes curl and move too. Today I was able to stand him up on all fours and he could support himself for about 4 seconds before slowly lowering back down. Before he couldn’t do this at all. Can anyone tell me if these are good signs of a slow but positive recovery or just something that happens to paralyzed dogs. Thanks for any help or advice.
