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!


YAY Layla!

I love checking into this thread and reading positive news.

Keep your head up!
