I am ready to cry tears of joy. Layla is showing signs today of beginning to spinal walk. It's not real conscious walking, there's no brain activity involved, but basically just muscle memory. She was starting to move her legs on her own a tiny bit on the underwater treadmill. The vet got video of it but said you can't see it very well, but she could definitely feel some movement when she was in the tank with Layla. It's not a nerve recovery step, but it's still progress!
I told myself I wouldn't ask, but I went ahead and asked if she still has the chance to gain back feeling and do real walking. She said oh yeah, there's definitely a chance. Some dogs take months to get it back. They're not giving up hope yet!
