DU with FCE

My family consists of 3 children my husband, one cat, two dogs, (10 year beagel and 3 year old yellow lab).DU is my yellow lab. He woke me at 5:00 AM as usual to go out and eat breakfast. It was when he went down the steps I noticed his back leg was dragging. By noon both legs were limp. We took him to the Vet to find out that the x-rays showed very little and without an MRI we couldn't be certain. It was probable diagnosis that it was FCE (Fibrocartilaginous Embolism). The vet gave a grim synopsis of recovery. A technician basically said, " take him home and give the meds and see if he improves. I believe she was an angel! Progress was very slow and very frustrating! WE didn't leave him for anything. He urinated all over us and pooped without warning. Exercised the legs and messaged them alot. We took him to my chiropractor and she worked on him and used acupuncture and homeopathic meds. The littlest improvement felt like a miracle. It always seemed that it was the little things that kept us going. So frustrating trying to keep him on a padded area so he didn't pee all over my carpets. Endless laundry of towels sheets and changing pads, cleaning him up and getting him outside. Did I mention he weighs 115lbs? Then there is my daughters black lab puppy. Has no concept that DU is incapable of standing. Constantly trying to play tug of war with him. Tension builds as we worry that he will reinjure himself. The progress started with just getting him to twitch his leg by tickling his hairs on the bottom of his feet. Then squeezing his paws hard to get him to pull his legs up. Tickling the hairs on his tail to get him to twitch the tail. Excited to see him dream and his back legs would move! I was so excited when he wagged his tail when he stood up (with out help). Then seeing the knuckling going away. He now uses his left leg to balance and walk. The right leg still doesn't have complete control. Just about the time he started using it he broke two toe nail and cut his pad on his foot. So now he bobbles the foot trying to put it down so it doesn't hit the front of his foot. He took seven steps by himself yesterday! The last week he hasn't had any peeing accidents in the house. As long as we get him out side on a regular basis he relieves himself outside. Still poops in the house. We could have him outside laying in the grass for an hour and he would not poop. He lays down inside and boom, he poops. Soooo frustrating. He has been able to get himself up a couple of times if his legs are in the right "place". I will keep you up to date with his progress and try to post some video and pictures of him before and after.
