Boxagirl, it is probably my GSP that Jo is referring to. She was struck with and FCE just shy of her 3rd birthday and when she was 80 points short of her Grand Champion title. For the first week we had to express her urine for her. We tried everything, accupunture, bowen, a dog whisperer everything. I think the thing that probably helped her most was swimming at the dog pool. She HAD to make her legs work (she did have a life jacket on for the first few sessions). We started this within the first week. She has recovered to the point where she gained her title. She is still stiff in the back legs and a bit clumsy and stands to wee. Her tail never came right but she now lives on a farm in Collie and is well enought to catch rabbits and roos. Don't give up, and start your rehab early as this is when they show most improvement. First 7 days then 2 weeks to a month and then tapers. Make her use her muscles or they will atrophy and it will be all that much harder.
