Disc Disease in Dogs: Diesel's Story - paralysed to walking again

Diesel’s hind legs became paralysed on 23rd February 2018 due to intervertebral disc disease. It is very important to start physical rehabilitation/therapy as soon as possible after the onset of paralysis/weakness or spinal surgery. We started to treat Diesel’s condition within 24 hours conservatively using physical rehabilitation, acupuncture and laser. The first 6 weeks following paralysis or hind leg weakness is the most crucial time to start neurological rehabilitation, as the spinal cord has the ability to regenerate.
1 week later, Diesel started to take some steps by himself. Check out the video of his progress. Thank you very much to Trevor Rebello for the use of his song, “Not Getting Any Younger”.
