Location: California | Hi Everyone ! I have been going non stop with rescue related stuff lately but I wanted to pop in and update everyone on miss London.
Originally she had a brachial plexus injury diagnosis and required the amputation of her left front leg . That was possible only from the generous help from the members on this board. Surgery went well until a few days later and then she started to loose 80% mobility in ALL her limbs. At that point we exhausted our resources with UC Davis speciailists and a neurologist with NO confirmed diagnoses. I had hit a dead end and was out of options. The only thing we know is it is something neurological , not sure what as we have exhausted all tests including and MRI that showed nothing.
Then I got in touch with a fellow barrel racer locally and therapist Molly Wells who provides acuscope therapy so I decided to give it a try as everything to that point was not working. We did 5 sessions with Molly & switched her to a full raw diet and she is now 90% back to full mobility. We went from not being able to walk or lift her head at all , to jumping on the bed / sofa and running up the stairs again this week. She is still exhausted by the evening but she is a trooper and I think with conditioning she is going to gain more strength.
We are taking everything one day at a time now , I don't know what this is , I don't know what the future holds but I am remaining optimistic and enjoying every day with her. We value the good days and push through the bad.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help you have given me with my little angel.
We love you all

| Good to hear she is ok! Prayers for a full recovery for her. She has one of those faces that if you came home to a tore up house, and she just tilted her head with that look, she'd be in no trouble!! To cute :) |

| This makes me VERY happy! I too thought that she had been put down, that was the last I had read and I didn't have the heart to check back in.
Prayers that you are able to figure our what is going on with her and are able to manage it.
Bless you for not giving up! |
