Terrier Mix Who Was Paralyzed Makes a Complete Recovery

Jeter is a 5-year-old terrier mix who presented on emergency for a sudden inability to walk following a traumatic event with his furry sibling. He was evaluated at an emergency hospital overnight and transferred to SEVN the following morning.
On examination, Jeter was unable to walk in all four limbs. He was able to move his right pelvic (rear) limb but unable to move the other three limbs. He was alert, with normal cranial nerve evaluation and normal spinal reflexes. He did not seem painful. He had postural reaction deficits (knuckling over of the limbs) in all four limbs. This told us there was a problem affecting the cervical spinal cord. Possible causes for an adult, medium-sized dog with a problem affecting the neck include a slipped disk, fibrocartilagenous embolism, tumor, meningitis or acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion (ANNPE).
An MRI was performed, which showed an ANNPE. ANNPE is when a small amount of the nucleus pulposus (the inner jelly-like part of the intervertebral disk) shoots out of the disk at high speed and strikes the spinal cord. This can cause symptoms of wobbly walking, inability to walk, or even paralysis.
Surgery is not necessary for dogs with ANNPE. The treatment for Jeter involved time, rest, and physical rehabilitation. Jeter underwent physical rehabilitation with our team and has regained the ability to walk!

Thank you! It was a great time to discover your video. My little doxie just had the surgery and is now recuperating. I needed to find a way to help his heal. Your videos came at just the right time.

[@angelicaarce5849]

The same happen to my dog an bring her to the specialist chiropractic and she’s amazing my little baby now is like new!!

[@cynthiastarks7161]

Such a great video. I can tell just how much you love this dog and working with all dogs who need rehab. I didn't really even know that this kind of rehab was available to dogs. I think it's awesome! I have a beautiful, 14-yr-old Lab and she is beginning to need help walking. I was actually exploring slings to help carry dogs, or to help them walk, when I came upon this video. May God continue to bless you and the wonderful work you do.

Nice job

[@floatsyourgoats6200]

I wish my vet gave me this kind of advice, all they told me was to try to stand her up occasionally and to stretch her legs. Thankfully my dog was able to walk anyway just three days after coming home and seems to be getting slightly better every day. She's a chihuahua though so maybe it's just easier for small dogs to recover.

How log time does it take this treatment start to end?

[@suniltariyal00]

Sir hoe long does it take to recovery this dog

[@susanreynolds9947]

did this doggy have surgery or just rehab. my 11 yr old pekingese is able to walk but stumbling around... mostly his right paws are affected. vet put him on pain meds and we're trying to keep him from moving around too much . he was almost normal the first week with no pain meds but now he has relapsed ... i think because..... even though i tried to stop him..... he was jumping off furniture and humping on his bed and may've reinjured himself. i've tried to keep him confined but he still gets up and moves some. i put blankets on the hardwood floors to give some traction ... but he slips on the tile floor. I don't know if i should let him walk or keep him still.

[@JoseGarcia-jd5rg]

What dog did it get in a scuffle

[@veronicamarin9889]

My vet told me that there's nothing he could do for my dog was paralize and the only advise he gave was ro put him to sleep this really broken my heart after watching this video am sorry idid because this video shows me that my dog could have recovered

[@user-bv8ln2im9x]

My dog is paralyzed and diagnosed as AAI since 2022 he got bitten by big dog. He can walk and run when he’s on his wheelchair and wag his tail but not perfectly. I’m korean and my dog’s vet do not teach me how to rehabilitate because he only wants my dog to do surgery rather than rehabilitation. But i didn’t let him do the surgery because first of all my dog is only 2kg so he can die during the surgery. Second of all the vet has never performed surgery on AAI. I still desperately want my dog to at least walk by himself like before 🥲 Can i know how this terrier recovered in more detail?

[@devanshimishra5807]

Stray dog get paralyze From 1 month almost done she can't move legs and she has bedsore on should . she is sended for rehabilitation 15days almost done and now she has start other side pressure sore. what is her treatment how to cure his pressure sore. veterinary denied she can't walk.

[@NeutronX101]

What kind of orange ball is that?

[@RohanKokane8009]

Same condition my dog 😭

[@hina0507]

Hii mam my pet is suffering from canine distemper, after his treatment he was paralysis from their back legs please give me a suggestion and help

[@mv894]

What would be the treatment for paralysis caused by a concussive injury and what would be the prognosis. My 19-year-old dog fell forward onto his face two months ago, blacked out and four days later could not use his hind legs. He holds them rigidly straight and thus, his front legs can't reach the floor. He also holds his head down. Please help!😢

[@SEVNeurology]

He should ideally be evaluated in person by a neurologist to determine IF the problem is neurological, WHERE the problem is, and what are the possible causes. Only then can an accurate and appropriate treatment plan be formulated. Where are you located?

[@user-fh4qg2bv7v]

Can you help us in any way.we r from India

[@threadoflife]

If only I could afford an MRI and therapy for my precious miniature poodle. She went from walking 6 months ago just fine to bed ridden just like this I have no idea why and the vet said they don’t either but an MRI is 4k just insane idk what to do it’s only money yes but to pay that if they can remedy anything is just super difficult. I wish someone had answers of what happened to her because her sister is 100% normal.

[@vickypolarstar693]

Such a miracl!!! Could you tell, if the dog had deep sensivity before rehab started?

[@thelovacluka]

I am 100 % sure he had. because he is aware of the movement. it's not spinal walking , it's true conscious walking

[@chandrakamalchaurak2431]

I found a streetdog with the same problem, but in our country we don't have that sort of rehab centre. Can you help it recover. Or it will die, I can't take care of it alone snd also i don't know how to take care of it. I am from Digboi , Assam, India. The dog can live if you help.

[@leem5082]

Wow!

[@samshiakhterrahman2947]

mam my dog met an accident..n she cannt feel her tail n both back legs..plz suggest me so that she het recovered..in my town there is no MRI or ulteasound facility for dogs

[@kemthami758]

Same situation with me. Did you got any advice.

[@JohnSmith-ly2qp]

Explain why MRI's cost so much for animals.

[@NeutronX101]

The machines cost a lot of money Which is ridiculous I know. We recently had an MRI for my dog suffering from ivdd and it was 4k.

[@onisa80]

Please van you help me my dog got hit by a car and the vet in my city can't do anything but put her down please

[@SEVNeurology]

Is there a vet in a nearby town? Where are you located?

[@1jerryfarmer]

My Pomeranian is 11 and his back legs are weak, I give him shots from the vet every weak nut now his front legs are so stiff he can't stand unless I lean him against something, I can't afford more treatment but it kills me seeing him like this.

[@JotaroKujoh]

any update??😭

[@leheaven]

How long should we give for recovery? My dog is going through the same thing, the paws turned in and struggling to walk without me helping him. He’s on oral meds a week now. The vet said if no improvement within 48hrs then there prob won’t be. But the last few days he’s been trying to walk and is peeing outside. I feel terrible because besides not walking without help he’s moving around in his bed and watching everything. He’s been eating/drinking.

[@felmendo9061]

Hi has your dog recovered? My girl is going through something similar.

[@AuthorThePoetBGKL]

i'm sorry to hear this. what's the update... my puppy is doing the same thing

[@susanreynolds9947]

my dog same thing. he got better for week then relapsed. my vet said most of the time the dogs get better.

[@biancavillanueva4676]

Did she have surgery or she just recovered on her own

[@SEVNeurology]

This dog did not have a problem that is treated with surgery.

[@tonychauvin7688]

My 15 yr old lab got attacked over the weekend by a pit bull.i broke it up quick but she has two small puncture wounds on her side. All I couldnt afford a x-ray because I had to go to a urgent care which still cost me 250 dollars My dogs acting just like this one.she can barely stand but it's weird pecause she's showing no pain. I have to drag her out the house on a blanket and hold her to use the bathroom. Do you recommend anything that can help

[@SEVNeurology]

If tests (MRI) isn't possible, I'd at least give him time and nursing care. Many dogs can get better with time and rest. Your vet might also prescribe some medications. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Yeah yeah definitely l am with you that’s why you love that job nothing else. It’s nothing to do £5000 just for MR . I was there in dog emergency they charge me £500 just for blood test and seeing my dogs and they think l may think about to let may dog go because l say l don’t have £5000 even if l pay that that’s just MR another 10.000 for rest of it . We are talking about £15.000 minimum . Even after that they don’t guarantee ur dog can make it l think not personally you but all you people do westerners just only money only that you guys got no feeling at all . I came back home with my dog huge her and sleep together with big upsetnes so l think all u guys are hiyinas got no word for u guys
