Here's a quick update and something I was NOT expecting to see at all! Maybe it's a fluke... but maybe it's not.. time will tell.
Rex has not been able to move at all. Neither of his back legs have been holding up any weight or moving (unless he's sleeping and running in his sleep ). His front legs have not moved much at all on their own. He knuckles and can't hold himself up, and when he's been in his wheel chair he's been dragging all 4 of his legs. He has only been able to lift his heads for short periods to eat and drink and even then rests his head on his bowl. Needless to say he hasn't been able to flip himself or even reposition himself or even roll over, on purpose anyway...
I took this video about an hour after his first treatment, after watching him push a water bowl out of the way, while still sitting up and then moving his arm to try and turn around. (Back half still not functioning.) Right after I turned the camera off - figuring this was going to be like watching paint dry for some - he moved his left arm. After repositioning him to his starting point again, he did it again and again before deciding to take a nap!
It's too early to say anything for sure.. but that just made my day!! and I think it may have made Rex's!
As for Buster... he's moving around a little better I think - hard to say so soon. He can get up on his own and isn't struggling like he normally does but he's still panting quite a bit when he's laying down .. once that stops and the falling down stops and his legs losing strength while he stands to eat or drink and he ends up on the floor, we'll have a better idea if that works.. but seriously - it's only been 1 treatment and we're getting geared up for treatment #2 of the day shortly...
