Update on Kirby - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkiesmiles · 11-15-2007, 08:00 AM

What exciting news!! Prayers continue for Kirby to make progress. Squeeking the toy and showing enjoyment for life are so important. I am thrilled to here that his gait is better -- I will go to my grave remember how excited I was when my Bichon, Andre, started walking after being paralyzed by a stroke. Having owners and vets who are willing to work to sustain their little lives thru alternative procedures is so important!

Kirby still seems to be doing better. Today when I took him out to potty, he didn't seem to be dragging his right paw as much. While walking today, he did go down on his side a couple of times, but more just the back end, rather than his whole body. I am very hopeful. He goes home with my daughter when she's off work and tonight I called to see how Kirby was and she said he didn't seem too great. She said the same thing last night when I called, so I think it is just that he's probably tired and ready for bed. After a good night's sleep, he seems to do better. Thanks for your well wishes and prayers!

Here's a picture of Kirby when he was a baby, wearing his little sweater. How cute is that! Can't resist showing you a baby pic of Kirby and Maddie too!

I remember that too when my Andre was trying to get back on track - late in the day he seemed to regress some, but his body just didn't have the stamina built up for a full day. This too will improve. I'm sorry that your daughter has missed the best parts of his day.

He's such a cutie! Glad to hear he's doing better!

Patti · 11-16-2007, 06:58 AM

I'm soooo excited for little Kirby. I've been following your emails and I know you are soooo tired with all you are doing just know when that little baby is walking around (one way or another) you had a huge part in it.

I'm soooo happy for all involved.

ps. his package of clothes to sell went out today.
