my dog, jessica, got hit by a car three weeks ago. she has been diagnosed with brachiel pariephal radial nerve damage which has made her paralized in her left front leg, according to drs , this nerve does not regenerate, therefore will be looking at amputation. i've had dogs my entire life (purebred) and jessie is my first mixed(1/2 lab, 1/2 german shepherd) and i want everyone to know that this dog is the smartest most intelligent dog i've ever owned... the dog reasons about everything, i really should have showed her if i could ,if i had she would of took 1st place everytime, i'm convinced. any how the dr's say this was a freak accident, the car wasn.t going fast at all and she had no lacerations, cuts or broken bones or abrasions, just this nerve damage and a very bad concussion. she's come back strong and i've been researching three legged dogs, they say they can lead a very normal life, but ii need some feedback from people who do know if they can, we were walking 3-5 miles a day before this happened and now she can't walk more than two houses before she lays down and seems to be tired. maybe i'm not being patient, but she's up and doing eveything else normal. we will be amputating sometime this summer, need to get the balance down before add on any more expense. my main concern is her psychological part of it, she seems depressed at times, but seems happy when i have her leg in a sling.this is something i have to live with for the rest of my life too, because i should have
had her restrained and elected not to. this dog did'nt deserve this to happen to her, she loved life so much. we need to have ya'lls support. if i knew how to put her picture on here i would, she beautiful. thanks guys!
