Spinal Trauma

[Guest guest]

I have a 5 year old lab mix that was HBC a few months back. She had several

orthopedic surgeries to both rear leg that have healed wonderfully. The main

problem now is that she sustained some type of spinal trauma when she was hit.

She can feel both legs and has voluntary movement. She is currently in a cart to

help her move around. She has recently started to crawl at home and is rubbing

some major sores on her legs which prevents up from putting her in the

underwater treadmill. When we use the Walk about harness to do assisted standing

she can bear 5-10% of her weight on her rear legs. Does anyone have any

suggestions on other things we can do to help encourage her to walk on her own?

Or any suggestions on how to prevent the sores from crawling? Thank you!
