A wonderful friend of the animals at the ranch, Anne G. from Seattle, emailed me this morning to ask about Dusty. Her note reminded me that I was overdue on an update on how blind Dusty was doing after his spinal stroke a few weeks ago. Well, recovered he has — completely! We were nothing less than incredulous at how fast he bounced back from the blood clot in his spinal cord that left his rear legs almost paralyzed.
I took this photo of Dusty in the Widget’s House front yard this afternoon, and you can see he’s fully upright on all four legs. In fact, getting the photo was a bit difficult because Dusty kept trying to walk away from me and the camera. He had no problem loping off to avoid getting his photo taken!
The spinal stroke is called fibrocartilaginous embolism, or FCE for short, and we know others have not been as fortunate to see their dogs recover from this condition as well as Dusty has. So we are very, very thankful for his happy outcome.
