Teddy In The Hospital

We have had a wild week.  In addition to all of the regular things that we are taking care of, Teddy injured his back this week and his hind quarters were paralyzed.  Our vet did X-rays and nothing was broken, but our vet could not offer the aggressive treatment that Teddy needed.  Our good friend, Michele, who raises Schipperkes, recommended that we go to Veterinary Specialty Services near St. Louis for emergency care.  They did an exam for Teddy, then an MRI to confirm that he had a disc injury, and then they did surgery almost immediately.  Two days later our little friend is progressing nicely and is even walking a bit.  We expect to bring him home near the end of this week.  Michele checked on him today and shot some video for us.  We have hope that Teddy will make a full recovery.
