I received a huge fright last Friday , when we found Katy paralysed... she was unable to lift her backend.......... I thought it was the end for her.
Some of you will have seen this on FB...
But after three days of Intravenous Dexamethasone (cortisone) and now on heavy doses of oral cortisone that we are tapering down after this week. She seems to have some function again.
She has ben able to pee and poop when we have walked her in her harness and never became incontinent or unable to go...PHEWWWWW.
but this morning she made my day, by getting up herself and coming to join me for breakfast.
I hope she will be OK... all she has to be able to do is walk in our gardens and pastures, swim at her leisure and pee and poop. I think her working days are finished.
She is my heart dog and always been a great friend. A very special dog, who can be trusted 100% around people and animals.......She is my behaviour training partner as she knows how to relax other dogs by just being there. She is a water training dog, pretty good at it and loves Rally O. And her specialty is visiting kids with special needs and cancer at Hospitals. I hope that she can return to this, but she does not have to. I just want her to be happy and comfortable.
