It's been 2 wks... Chloe with IVDD

it's been exactly 2 wks since chloe had IVDD. although we are very optimistic about her speedy recovery, but still in the shadowed corner in the back of our heads, we still need to face the reality that maybe, just maybe, chloe may never fully walk again.

till today, chloe's able to wag her tail when she's happy, bark when she's anxious, cry when she wants her daddy's attention, and still can eat like a horse.

she's been able to move her legs a bit these days, which seems to mean that there's more sensitivity going on in her hind legs. but still not much reflex from her paws. normal dogs when you bend their paws back when they are standing up, they will automatically flip it back. but chloe can not fully do that. only from time to time.

but still, we are hopeful. so, please continue to pray for chloe's speedy recovery.

here's a video of chloe taking her first walk outside of her crib. we needed to make a video for a wheelchair company in taiwan to see, so they can assess chloe's condition for which type of wheelchair.

be warned, this is a very heartbreaking video. i hope no doggie parent would and should ever have to go through this. therefore, if you have a big doggie or even a doggie with longer body, please watch their weight and prevent them from jumping up and down or climbing the stairs.

CHLOE 加油! 加油! 加油!
