We had a HUGE scare the beginning of April. Griffs back legs went out he couldn't put any pressure on them. My family and I had to carry him to go outside to go to the bathroom.
My sister and I ended taking him to the vet (my mom and little sister were out of town) and they gave us basically bad news. He is 12 and is an old pup. They kept him over night at the vet and gave him IV Fluids and IV steroids to see if that would help him regain strength. When our other dog Zero went to the vet they basically said all these things to us and we ended up putting her down because she wasn't inproving. So all our mind sets were we wouldn't have Griff anymore. My mom actually called them and told them we would be taking Griff home with us and watch him for a couple of days to see if he is improving.
GREAT SUCESS! He started walking again after a week on medication. We basically had to reteach him how to use his back legs by towel walking him for a week. but now he is doing it on his own. its still a struggle but he is doing it! And he looks so happy about it! :D
I know we don't have forever with him but it sure is a relief we have more time with him.
I love my Gryffindor, He has been a huge part of my life.
Its weird how we have these furry creatures just roaming around in our houses and they mean so much. they don't talk. But they are always there. As weird as this might sound he has helped me with some of my hardest times.
I LOVE YOU GRIFF. <3
