It also could be from her not eliminating fully since I do have to express her bowels; but there is no bacterial overgrowth so not sure it is that. She is on probiotics just in case. For now I have stopped physical therapy. The week before it happened she was all over the house and went to PT three times. I am thinking it may have been too much. She has not tried to walk since. The past two days she did stand for a few minutes, so hopefully she is feeling better again. It really is trial and error right now.
It's great to see you back, Linda. I feel bad Gabby had such a rough time with her bowels, but it's good that her Labs are normal. I know it is discouraging to stop PT for a short time, but once you start again, Gabby will catch up.

So, please don't feel discouraged. Sometimes it is is just like a rollercoaster.

In the end, she'll be flying!

Hugs,
Sheila
