Thank you so much. We are still praying like crazy too. We are unable to get her to acupuncture this week because the vet is only in the same days we drop Layla off for the day for rehabilitation at the university.
Yesterday at work, I was in a meeting and took Layla with me to sit on my lap because these meetings tend to be pretty long and I didn't want her crying or trying to get out of her crate to find me if I left her at my desk. After about 45 minutes, her back legs started twitching enough to lift her butt up a little, and her tail started twitching like crazy too... not a wag, not an up-and-down motion, but kind of circular and all over the place. I was worried she was going to poop
so I put my hand over her butt to keep her tail still, but it was going hard enough that I couldn't hold it down. I am going to ask about that if we see her vet tomorrow or Friday. Maybe it's a good sign, but I'm prepared to hear the same old "It's just a reflex."
She also finished her bethanechol pills, which are used to keep muscle tone in her bladder. Basically she's not using her bladder, and we're just pushing on it to get it to release, so by the time she gets function back, if she gets function back, she could end up with just a big flabby piece of muscle that she can't control anyway. So I'm going to ask if she can have more of those pills.
I had a dream last night that Layla started walking with her back legs if she was walking slowly, but they would drag if she started running or walking fast. It was weird because no matter what, her butt still stayed level with the rest of her body lol. But I'm going to just take that dream as a good sign.
