Skeeter is Paralyzed. Please help

[Lanie]

I've been looking for your update, too! I am so glad he is doing better. I am sure those back legs will come around soon
He just looks like a doll in that brace with the heart on the back. I'm sure it is frustrating for him to wear, but it sounds like he is getting lots of attention/distraction from it! I will surely be keeping ya'll in my thoughts and prayers for a complete recovery

It is so good to see pictures of Skeeter! Thanks so much for sharing and your story made my day about he wanted all the attention. What a great little guy!

Bless that little angels heart - he looks great and his brace just adds to his cuteness - who couldn't kiss that little face - you must be so estatic !!! I'm so happy to hear he will be coming home and congratulations on a sucessful surgery - what a hard thing to go thru and he is just a DOLL!! YAY Skeeter - you go boy !

I am so glad Skeeter is doing so well. He looks like a little doll in his brace. I am sure with the therapy his back legs will be just fine.

I was thinking about Skeeter all day and am so glad to hear he is moving his front legs - don't worry about the back legs they will come in time. Have you had a chance to check out Vet services for daycare? As I said, I highly recommend it especially for the 1st couple of weeks - this will definately put my mind at ease.
Again, I'm here for any questions and all the support you need to help in Skeeter's recovery.
p.s. The pics are so sad but sweet at the same time and he looks just like Sedrick did in the 1st pic - totally corked!!

I'm so glad to hear that Skeeter is doing well. He is just he cutest, sweetest little puppy. He is lucky to have such a loving and caring family. Many people, unfortunately, would not have made the sacrafices you did you ensure Skeeter will hopefully lead a normal life. It is a blessing to see that little face. He is the cutest worm I have ever seen!!! So happy to hear the update. Please keep us posted on any new news!!!

He has a neck brace on which makes him look like a worm, but he is OH SO ADORABLE! I thought his behavior might change, but I'm SO glad I was wrong! The Dr told me he cries until he gets lots of attention, which is his normal behavior. He LOVES attention! He was kissing EVERYONE, even his toy! He seemed frustrated to be restrained in his neck brace, but who wouldn't be? I held him with his front legs on my right arm and he actually sort of pushed himself up with them!! His back legs are still paralyzed but I hope that with the physical therapy the Dr showed us to do with him, he will regain his strength. He whined when we were talking to the Dr because it was less attention on him! He's just so easy to fall in love with! The bill is the only negative thing we have to say about this. We almost fainted! Hopefully we can bring Skeeter home with us tomorrow and give him lots of kisses and hugs!! Thank you everyone for all of your warm wishes and prayers! I truly believe you helped him through this!

Great news. I'm so glad he is on the mend. Hopefully he will be back or close to 100% before too much longer.

Hi Lorraine,

What did you feed Sedrick while he was in his neckbrace? Did you feed him babyfood? No I haven't actually. We have other people who are able to take care of Skeeter when we can't. They do look the same in their pictures! But it's so adorable!

Thank you

He has the common disk disease but all four of his legs are paralyzed. He's alert and aware of his surroundings but unable to do anything else. The Dr told us he has a 25-50 % chance of survival. My options are to go through with the surgery and risk him being paralyzed forever or possibly dying under anaesthesia (he's underweight) or to put him to sleep. He has that small chance of survival if all goes well with the surgery and getting better. I want to know if there's anyone out there went through with the spinal surgery and what happened. We don't know what to do. Is there a chance for him? Please someone help.

I am so sorry to hear the sad news of your baby being paralyzed. What is the update on the condition? Hope all has gone well with you.
Hugs,
Little-Bit, Meggie, Tori, Cassie and Roscoe's Mom
