Special PT Prayers, please! Nikata is home! See #51!

Is it just her back end, or all 4 legs that aren't working right? I was thinking - if it's just the back - then maybe they could get a cart for the back legs which would allow her to get around. Just a thought............

Anyway - hope she continues to make progress and it's just an injury that needs a little time to heal.

Fingers and paws crossed here, and sending prayers and good vibes out to Nikata.

Ellie, her front is OK, it's the back. There is indication there is nerve connection and movement. The decision here, and I hate to put it this way, is whether Nikata CAN be a "cart dog" in this household. MB will never be able to pick her up again or care for a severely handicapped dog. I have my own opinions on this, but the bottom line is it's not my dog. Nikata is loved by many, we would aid in her care, but it's ultimately not our decision. We, as a group of their friends, are on pins and needles as far as their decision. They actually don't have a clue we're all tuned in to the vet. hospital and paying the bill; there's one couple on point on a delicate tightrope.

We're just praying and hoping...as you all are! Thank you!

I'm sorry that I missed this. I've been so busy w/Yodie, etc. that I've missed a lot of threads, I guess. I sure hope that all turns out well for Nikata. Things have improved this far; I hate to see it all go south now. Prayers are going up for Nikata and her family......

[Catty1]

Would they be willing to rehome her if necessary? Is there anyone who can take her in?

Prayers continuing.

More prayers for Nikata and that this situation is resolved for the best all around.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I just want to send out more thoughts and prayers too. I am so glad to hear the good update. Get better Nikata!!!

I am so taken aback by this story. I know she will probably have several offers in case she needs to be rehomed. I feel like taking her myself.

I have a financial update, but unfortunately not a doggie update. I haven't heard anything about her today . I don't want to call - we're really depending on the "point" couple to do that so Jimmy and MB don't have to tell the story multiple times....I'm just worried...

Financially, though, the news is FANTASTIC! The Vet Hospital was absolutely overwhelmed by the response for Nikata. They actually had to start telling people they had too much money and that their hearts were so warmed by everyone's calls and donations. We exceeded the estimated bill by quite a bit, but she was still there at midday () so we don't know how high the bill will be. There is actually a waiting list of people to donate if needed.

One bad note, I kind of had to vent; the email I sent to ask for donations was sent to a large group, some I did not know, as it was forwarded. One person responded that he didn't think our "affluence" should be spent on an animal, we had to get some perspective, the holiday season was approaching and there were actual people in need of these funds. I was furious!! Who was this jerk?? Who did he think he was?? Anyway - nuff said, just had to vent, sorry.

Anyway - prayers continue - waiting for a good update. Thanks y'all!
