Nov 25

She was hit by a car; my neighbor told me right away and I had her to the vet within 30 minutes. Steroid injection to her spine area. She slowly regained her bowel and bladder function over a few days and one leg then the other. Took about two-three weeks even though one leg as always was a bit weak. I credit the ability to get her to the vet quickly. If my neighbor hadn’t called me or if I lived further from my vet, it might have been different.
