Today we talk with Amanda from Keyser, USA about life with her paralyzed pooch, Delilah. Delilah suffered a spinal cord injury when she was hit by a car in September 2016 which left her paralyzed. Amanda describes what life is like with a paralyzed dog including bladder management and the tips and tricks that she's picked up along the way. Could you describe a regular day with Delilah?3/11/2018 2 Comments GIBBSToday we meet Hannah and her dog Gibbs. We talk about daily life caring for a dog with degenerative disc disease (aka intervertebral disc disease - IVDD). Gibbs was found paralyzed and abandoned on the side of a highway in August 2017. He had multiple cuts and scars, and his teeth had been shaved down. This all pointed to the likelihood that Gibbs had been used as a bait dog in illegal dog fighting and was abandoned when he became paralyzed. When Hannah adopted Gibbs she vowed to give him a life full of love. "I want him to know that he is loved, safe and it will always be like that." Could you tell us a bit about Gibbs and his disability? |
