3/20/2018 3 Comments TINKERBELLToday we talk with Jana from Zanesville USA about life with Tinkerbell, the nine year old Chiweenie. Tinkerbell became paralyzed during 2015 following an intervertibral disc disease (IVDD) related incident. Jana tells us about her daily routine with Tinkerbell, bladder management and the challenge of keeping a diaper on a dog that has proven to be quite the escape artist. Could you tell us how Tinkerbell became paralyzed.

3/18/2018 2 Comments DELILAHToday 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? |
