Special needs dog care... the story of Sheba, my German Shepherd stricken with degenerative myelopathy and the care she received that enabled her to live a quality life despite being paralyzed. Trouble, my German Shepherd/Husky and Fly, my German Shepherd/malamute were stricken with osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Jerry Lee, my shep/lab was diagnosed with old dog vestibular disease and degenerative myelopathy. Kimber, my Shiloh Shepherd, made a complete recovery from a torn ACL without surgery!

Kimber is now wheelchair bound
Kimber had surgery to remove a cancerous anal gland... something went very wrong as she could walk, run, eat, pee, poop, etc prior to the surgery, but now is urinary incontinent, wheelchair bound as she has lost the ability to use her rear legs, can't defacate I suppose due to the nerve damage and has no appetite. The MRI she had after the surgery showed a herniated disk. Kimber is now fighting a terrible urinary tract infection as she pees blood. She is on multiple antibiotics to fight the infection as well as a stool softener. Due to her lack of eating, I am very concerned for her life. Had I known anything like this would have happened after the surgery, I never would have had it done in the first place.... damned if you do.... damned if you don't.... and in this case, it's my beloved Kimber who is being damned for no good reason.
