Thank you! The rehab vet did tell us to make sure all pool water or anything she's in should be like "a warm bath"

There was a water rehab place here beside Layla's old vet, but I think it has since closed down. We live near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I had worries about Layla in her wheelchair, because some dogs give up trying when it's so easy. But I've seen Layla's spirit and her vet agrees, she doesn't think she will ever give up trying whether she has wheels or not! Her back legs DO move slightly as she's walking in the cart. She has an Eddie's Wheels cart with stirrups, but when we're inside on smooth ground or in the grass, we don't use the stirrups so her legs are in a normal standing position.

I think I had asked you about this through PM not long after Layla went down, but does Babybear "spinal walk" or truly walk? With the loss of Layla's deep pain sensation, there is only a very very slim chance at this point that she will regain any feeling or brain control over the back end of her body. We're really hoping that she will reflexively walk again though!
